Greg,

I had this same problem with Scribus on Mandrake 10.0. It is a bug in 
one of the Mandrake libraries (or something) causing the problem, not 
Scribus. Unfortunately this was some months ago and I have since 
installed 10.1, so I can't remember which library it was. I solved it by 
updating the rpm, after which Scribus worked fine. Sorry I can't be more 
specific but hopefully that will put you on the right track. I found the 
solution by doing a google search...hope that helps.

Peter
