Thanks Craig! I confirm it's fixed!
I've created a child issue http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=13530
this addresses the fact that if settings are changed within the SE settings
that once those changes are applied SE exits immediately back to canvas and
one needs to re-enable SE to get back in to. It's low priority issue,
nevertheless, it seems like the right thing to do.
