[sane-devel] Xsane 0.94 Memory access error (Speicherzugriffsfehler)

[Kees Lemmens]

Hi,

The seg fault problem seems to be caused by an old ~/.gtkrc file with 
illegal content: as soon as I remove this file all problems are gone !!

Don't know which line is responsible, but just decided to discard this 
file completely to avoid any xsane seg faults as it doesn't seem to be 
that important for KDE users ;)
