Starting from a terminal and monitoring .xsession-errors with tail -f shows 
no errors from Scribus - X did complain about some other things (mainly 
missing fonts) when it started, but nothing when Scribus starts or is 
used.  The terminal reports only the "Can't find Plug-in" error when 
Settings->preferences is clicked, nothing else.  (I mis-quoted the error 
message earlier - sorry.)

Both machines have identical behavior.

O.K., thanks, and have a good holiday.
