Hi, This is a true problem i don't really know how to solve. Luckily, SANE people have just commited fdi generator to SANE CVS. So we should have proper device detection in the next release. However, this does not solve sharing and button event handling.
The problem with addon is : to bind to SANE or not to bind ? SANE has already several backends and tons of device supported. Including buttons handling. Imho, writing several backends just for button handling is waste. However, the problem with linking to SANE is the locking of device. If HAL own the device, xsane, kooka, gnome-scan won't be able to use it. scannerbuttonsd from SANE CVS use libusb for buttons handling, would be nice to have it as an hal add-on. Thank you for your comments.
