Thanks Peter. No, I'm only on 32 bit. When starting it on the cmd line, I get two errors ie,

julianr at PC37:~$ scribus-ng
X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 169
  Major opcode:  147
  Minor opcode:  3
  Resource id:  0x0
Failed to open device

But Scribus starts fine.

But the extra menu items have still gone.

Perhaps one for Alex? Can anyone confirm this same bug? I was surprised I was the first to spot it, as its something used pretty often in Scribus, so I'm wondering if I've just been unlucky instead? I'll add this to the bug tracker in the mean time.

Is there any means of a workaround for now ?
