An awkward problem, to be sure. Samba is unlikely to be the problem. Do
you have Group Policies in place? These can restrict desktop users to
"approved" applications. It is possible that an anti-virus application
has put Scribus on a disabled list. These normally work by path eg
c:\program files\scribus\scribus .exe rather than scribus.exe alone - to
avoid renaming tricks. This could account for mobile scribus working -
different path.
