Hi Guillermo,

I was trying to help you last night on IRC. Hopefully someone who has 
Ubuntu can help.
 From what I understand, this was supposed to be only occurring with 
qt3, not qt4, so I don't know if this is a new bug or not.
BTW, what is the build date on your 1.3.5svn? check Help > About Scribus
