I'm building and running Scribus 1.5.0 svn regularly here with Qt 5.2
and 5.3 on openSUSE 12.3 and 13.1 without issues.  

Seems to be something local in the way Qt is built on Gentoo.  I know
you can tweak a lot of settings in Gentoo, which might be the cause.
Not blaming Gentoo... It is one of its features.
