If you use the mouse to double-click to go to edit mode, the cursor will 
be placed where you click. Click outside the frame, then back again to 
go to Select Item mode.

Your prayers are answered! We now have an *Official* Scribus manual 
available for purchase which is exactly what you're looking for, and 
contains information you won't find anywhere else about Scribus. 
Official release should be any day now.
