Most likely Metacity. Franz has already put in one workaround for bugs
in Metacity not following Qt window hints properly.

As an FYI, I test Scribus cvs often with RH9 and KDE 3.1.4/Qt 3.1.2 and
have never encountered freezes - even with cvs. I have never seen this
kind of behavior in any of the cvs versions.

As alternative to KDE/kwin you could try blackbox as a window manager.
It is light in memory usage and very fast. RPM's are available on
fedora.us or freshrpms.net

If you have KDE installed you could try that as well. If the window
handling is incorrect in KDE or Blackbox file a bug at scribus.net. If
the errors do not appear in Blackbox or KDE - file a bug with
bugzilla.redhat.com

Hope that helps,
Peter
