Comment 1 for bug 447299

I found a suggested fix and tried sudo rm -fr $HOME/.xsane. This apparently removes .sane and the permission denied goes away. I'm only an adventurous user not advanced. Using Applications>Graphics>Xsane now will bring up Xsane without all of the permission denied stuff. However, one mystery left. I don't get the screen that lets me choose between the HP 1100 and the HP 1315, only the HP 1315. If I run sudo xsane then I get both devices recognized and can choose either one and then scan. Apparently the HP 1100 has some permission that only lets it be recognized by root. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
