May want to slow down a bit filling these, but yes xsane does need gtk+:2 as well.

However, like many, looks unsolvable unless someone does a port.

There are no upstream commits since months at
https://gitlab.com/sane-project/frontends/-/commits/master/
and
https://gitlab.com/sane-project/frontend/xsane/-/commits/master

No gtk3 related activity there.
No possibility to scan with gtk3 gimp.
Comment 3 Jack 2022-01-03 22:33:53 UTC 
No commits, but at least there is an open issue: https://gitlab.com/sane-project/frontend/xsane/-/issues/34 so at least it is not totally ignored.
Comment 5 jospezial 2022-06-01 11:40:17 UTC 
A lot of GTK3 porting is going on now:
https://gitlab.com/sane-project/frontend/xsane/-/commits/master

Maybe it is time to test the usability with a live ebuild.
