I rushed to do what you said, I now have
[root at gstpc-fc3 ~]# rpm -q sane-backends
sane-backends-1.0.15-2
[root at gstpc-fc3 ~]# rpm -q hotplug
hotplug-2004_04_01-10
and my Epson 1240U scanner still will not open in Gimp until I execute
chmod a+w /proc/bus/usb/003/002
as root.

I rebooted just to be sure.

What am I missing?
