Question:
 When I click the scanner icon, all I get is a window that flashes on the screen.  What's wrong?
Answer: For some reason, you have a stale known_hosts file.  This is most likely due to the fact that newton.mat.owlnet was reimaged since the last time you tried to scan something.  This can be fixed using the following procedure.  Fire up a terminal.  Type rm -f ~/.ssh/known_hosts and hit return (as shown here).  After executing this command, you may close the terminal and start scanning!
