There is a file called prefs13.xml that contains  a lot of the Preferences info 
(I'm not a 
programmer so I don't know what the right name is ). Go to c:\users>your 
name>.scribus. That's in Win 7 x64.
Here is a part of the file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<preferences>
        <level name="application">
                <context name="AlignDistributePalette">
                        <attribute key="height" value="282"/>
                        <attribute key="left" value="549"/>
                        <attribute key="top" value="262"/>
                        <attribute key="visible" value="0"/>
                        <attribute key="width" value="222"/>
                </context>
                <context name="Books">
                        <attribute key="height" value="321"/>
                        <attribute key="left" value="179"/>
                        <attribute key="top" value="239"/>
                        <attribute key="visible" value="0"/>
                        <attribute key="width" value="455"/>
                </context>

Good luck,
George
