[scribus] Poor hyphenation in french language

I thought I experienced the same problem but I cannot reproduce it now
with scribus 1.4.0 on debian wheezy/testing. None of the words you
experienced problems with are hypenated wrong. If you can give me an
example docuemnt to try I would be happy to contribute.
