You and others like you are the exact people who should take note of my 
message. I'm glad you saw it, your paper is so wonderful, I'm so glad that 
Scribus enables you to produce it.

You should upgrade to 1.3.3.1 when we release it, and I'm sure you will be 
able to get 1.3.4cvs somehow. Just need to work that out with malex.
