Note that on Mac OS X, Scribus 1.3.8 does not store the configuration in
'~/.scribus' but in '~/Library/Preferences/Scribus' - in Finder
notation: 'Home > Library > Preferences > Scribus'.


I can reproduce the problem on Mac OS X 10.5.8 when renaming the
existing Scribus preferences directory and launching Scribus 1.3.8: the
properties window does not show - it is not hidden and not off-screen.

The problem does not occur with Scribus 1.3.7 when launching it after
renaming an existing configuration directory
(~/Library/Preferences/Scribus) or when using Scribus 1.3.8 with
settings created by an earlier version.
