USB scanners are broken

My USB scanner works just fine, but I have to tweak permissions after
every reboot. The hotplug scripts do not set correct permissions.
Plug in your USB scanner (unplug if necessary) then type dmesg in a
console. Your scanner's USB bus location will be shown at the bottom.
Then, give yourself full permissions to the corresponding node under /
proc/bus/usb. For example, my scanner is located at /proc/bus/
usb/001/007, and I simply type (as root):
$ chmod 777 /proc/bus/usb/001/007
Now kooka has no problem finding the scanner.
