When xsane is run with XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 there is no crash.

Workaround in the terminal:
XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 xsane

Workaround editing the menu:
env XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 xsane

the gtk rgba change has been turned off until alpha2 but will be enable again later in the cycle so this bug should still be worked

Ok, I'll give it another try when rgba is turned on again.

Strange though, that all three bugs
- banshee bug #585160
- xsane bug #585145
- openshot bug #593116
all have been marked invalid for the same reason!

Nope, the maverick system was up to date at that time.
