I made some notes to bug 9753.

using qtconfig-qt4, I change the Appearance to "Cleanlooks" Problem
solved. I don't think this is an Ubuntu issue

For 1.5.0 it is early days, today I get (having built  with scripter2)
a new error message

===============================================================
<type 'exceptions.AttributeError'>
Python 2.6.6: /usr/bin/python
Sat Apr 9 08:53:20 2011

A problem occurred in a Python script. Here is the sequence of
function calls leading up to the error, in the order they occurred.
 /Data/Programs/scribus1.5.0/lib/scribus-1.5.0.svn/plugins/scripter/init_scripter.py
in createMenu(mainWindow=<PyQt4.QtGui.QMainWindow object>)
   87

   88 def createMenu(mainWindow):

   89     Scripter.menu = ScripterMenu(mainWindow)

   90

   91 Scripter.connect("createMenu(QMainWindow*)", createMenu)

builtin Scripter = <mikro.ScripterImpl object>, Scripter.menu
undefined, global ScripterMenu = <class '__main__.ScripterMenu'>,
mainWindow = <PyQt4.QtGui.QMainWindow object>

===============================================================

At this stage I just let the eyes roll. I presume something has yet to
be added to 1.5.0.

I have yet to try it with Fedora-14 but for the time being, I will
just let it build with scripter 1
