I've had problems with the story editor, and I was advised elsewhere on this forum to make some changes to Qt's interface settings, which didn't solve the problem.
I've been putting off upgrading to Ubuntu 11.10 but since I read that it has improved Qt support, I thought it might help with my Scribus problem, but no. Now Scribus won't run at all.
Here's what happens when I run Scribus 1.4.0 rc6 from the terminal:
