[scribus] the new text properties tab

[Craig Bradney]

Hi Martin

Go into preferences in keyboard shortcuts and reset the shortcuts. This will fix your F keys issue.

1.5.4 will totally change the palettes and the documentation will be written for this, yes.

We can update the wiki based release notes.
