This may go over your head, ....
I'm a commandline junky, I'd look at it this way:

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install strace
strace -f -e trace=file -o /tmp/scid $(which scid)

do whatever you need to reproduce the problem, but no more

One way to examine the output is this:
cat /tmp/scid | less

After a quick liik, you might want to prune some junk with grep in this
sort of way
cat /tmp/scid  | egrep -v '/usr|ld.s' | less

You might need to consult the man page for strace

While researching for this reply, I got to here:
cat /tmp/scid  | egrep -v '/usr|ld.s|icons|etc/fonts|var/cache|"/li' \
  | grep open

You could trace just the open call, but some programs try other
file-related calls before deciding to try the open, and if, for example,
a stat() or access() call fails, they don't attempt to open. And there
are other versions of stat() and access().
