I'm all for this, good scanning support is something really missing from KDE 
till now (at least in the "normal" modules).

BTW, I wrote a small suid-helper that writes "scsi add-single-device 0 0 5 0" 
to /proc/scsi/scsi to make the kernel know about the scanner if it was turned 
off at the time the scsi module was loaded and "scsi remove-single-device 0 0 
5 0" to tell the kernel when the scanner was turned off. Maybe with the 
hardcoded host, channel, id, lun values made configurable this could be added 
so at least Linux-users don't need to worry about reloading the scsi module 
when they want to use the scanner?
