[gentoo-amd64] Scanning in GIMP

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 545 bytes --]

I plugged in a USB scanner tonight, and followed instructions I found to get
xsane working with it. It all works perfectly. I would like to be able to
scan from within GIMP, but the Acquire menu does not show a scanner option.
So I tried USE="scanner" emerge gimp to re-install it with scanner support,
but I still don't have the scanner option. Did I need to do the emerge
differently than I did when I re-installed, or is something else wrong?
Thanks!

USE="gimp" emerge media-gfx/sane-frontends

This says gmail, and I understand it's a bit of trouble there, but can you
please turn off HTML when sending to lists, unless it's a list that
specifically encourages it?  

Within the FLOSS (Free Libre and Open Source Software) community, HTML in
mail or news is considered by many to be the mark of malware or spam, and
thus is discouraged and often killfiled.  Where it isn't killfiled, many
are by choice running clients that show the raw HTML (in addition to the
plain text if the sending client included it, thankfully gmail does).  By
posting in HTML, you therefore limit your audience, and limit those
willing to take the time to answer what is then classed as an "obvious
HTML using luser willing to risk security for their HTML", if they don't
simply killfile it.
