I had also problems while testing and writing code for scribus. From time to time, scribus seem to produce a very high number of windows so that the X-server need a very large amount of memory and that the system was continuously swapping. This behaviour was not reproductible, I have told to Franz that this may be due to not initialized variable. An other reason may a peace of overwritten memory. Jean-Jacques
