These aren't tutorials, but I have made a couple of references that I 
have created on the Wiki:

http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Working_with_text_frames
http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Working_with_image_frames

I don't pretend that these are anything more than very basic 
compilations of the use of frames.  What I'm hoping is that those more 
experienced with DTP/publishing will add to these or make their own 
pages that discussed more advanced usage and pointers on work flow.

The advantage of the Wiki is the ease of editing, which helps work 
against the obsolescence problems with most existing documentation and 
tutorials.
Something that represents an unused potential is the Discussion tab in 
the Wiki, to see alternative points of view on techniques and workflow 
-- perhaps a way of referencing some of the interesting discussion 
threads on the list archives.
