[PLUG] xsane-gimp (?)

I had trouble connecting from xsane to a Fujitsu IX-500
scanner on my wife's SL7.2 office desktop.  At Sunday's
clinic (thanks folks!), she learned to install xsane on
two laptops (one SL7.3, one Mint 18.2), and xsane worked
fine with the scanner on both laptops.

After looking for differences, I de-installed xsane-gimp
on her desktop machine, and the scanner connected fine.
I'm not sure why xsane-gimp was installed, or why we
might want to scan directly into gimp someday, but for
now we do better without it.
