For what it's worth, here are the weight of a couple other apps. Scribus
was low and is now high but was not the lowest then and is not the highest
in weight now, as you can tell.

LibreOffice - 478,5 MB
OpenOffice - 423,9 MB
Scribus 1.4.0RC6 (new) 4141,7 MB
Inkscape 290,4 MB
GIMP 216,3 MB
Scribus 1.4.0RC6 (previous) 161,4 MB

Considering those figures, can we say we have an issue at 414,7, especially
when we are shipping with a spellchecker—something many users have asked
for over the years? LibreOffice has a wider circulation that Scribus, I
guess, and this weight seems to have no real bad effect, does it?

Cheers!

Louis
