As an aside, I would also like to propose that we schedule a release of 
the SANE frontends perhaps a short while after the backends' release.

We have had a request to port our x* frontends to GTK3 (or 4?) and I am 
currently working my way through that.
GTK4 has been released and GTK2 (GTK+) has been well and truly 
deprecated to the point at which I fear that some distros might drop 
support entirely.

GTK porting is not something I have done before but it is an exercise 
that is required for xsane also so the effort is worthwhile.

The biggest deal seems to be the use of GtkPreview to render and manage 
the preview window, which has been removed entirely from GTK3.
There will be a few other bits and pieces here and there I am sure.

Cheers,
Ralph
