The scanbuttond workaround worked for me too (LiDE25 scanner).

I installed the package scanbuttond with synaptic.
I entered the command

scanbuttond

as a normal user from a Terminal window.

Magically both xsane and xscanimage started working,
both as a standalone and with gimp.

Kooka worked too.

If I killed scanbuttond then xsane, xscanimage and kooka became broken again.
