Sebastian,

I don't think this is normal behavior as I am running SuSE 9.0 with 
KDE3.2 and QT3 3.3, all SuSE rpms installed and all security updates. 
Ghostscript unchanged from original install.  My print preview of docs 
comes up almost instantly.

Methinks you might be looking at the wrong things for your problems. 
Scribus is or does not seem to be the culprit here.  Have you tried 
Print Preview in other KDE programs like KWord?  See how it goes with 
that and if you still seem to be having problems, you need to go looking 
back to the last time things worked okay.
