I never ever had these problems neither with Qt-3.0.x nor Qt-3.1.1 or Qt.3.1.2,
it really seems that your X-Windows installation is somewhat damaged. A hint to
this is the fact that you wrote: "on the remote Display everything works fine".

Peter Linnell has also a Redhat 9.0 Installation and he reports that the latest
Versions of Scribus are rock-solid stable. And he does very harsh tests with
Scribus.

What me also puzzles is the fact that Version 0.9.10 works for you. But there
are no changes in Ver. 0.9.11 that could cause the problems you have. The code
for the Measurement Palette for example has only minor changes unrelated to the
Display.

One Question: did you install RH 9.0 from Scratch or did you an Update from an
older Version with an already installed Scribus-0.9.10 ?
