Faced with this difficulty I would just use another program to 
create the line plus arrowhead and then import it. Or I would 
just accept the line/arrowhead combination offered by 
Scribus. 

Another thought: create the line with the correct arrowhead 
and then overlay the line with another graphic of a line.
