Hi,
A simple way of putting some space between a picture and surrounding 
text is the following
(works fine for me in Scribus 1.4.6 and in 1.5.3svn)
Place the picture with the frame adjusted to the picture. With the 
picture frame selected choose
the image tab in properties. Click on Free Scaling. You can now scale 
the picture and move it around
inside the frame. Or you can resize the frame and leave the picture 
unchanged inside it. The text
will flow round the frame whatever the size of the picture inside it.

Happy New Scribus Year!
