Tried that. It asked for libpython2.5. I have 
libpython2.6 installed currently; don't want to remove 
it because too many other apps depend on it. So, I 
installed libpython2.5. After that, scribus 1.3.3.13 
installed fine, except that I'm stuck with the same old 
problem again: no icons in the menus and an error 
message, "Setting up the Python plugin failed."

Failed to import warnings module. Something is probably 
broken with your Python.

--------------------------
I think perhaps that the two versions of libpython are 
in conflict with each other.
If I un-install libpython2.5 and reinstall 
scribus1.3.5svn (or 1.3.5) then all will be well again. 
However, it's not the stable version and I'm using 
scribus it for business. Is the 1.3.5 version adequate 
for business use? If not, why not? What specifically 
would be the problem?

Thanks,
Wayne
