I solved the problem by removing scim and skim packages from my Kubuntu 6.0.6.1 installation.

I don't have scim installed, only scim_qtimm and skim. Removing scim_qtimm solves the problem in my case, but this is a really dirty workaround, since kubuntu-desktop depends on scim_qtimm and will be removed too:

 maciej@pan:~/tmp$ sudo apt-get remove scim-qtimm
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  kubuntu-desktop scim-qtimm
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 2 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B of archives.
After unpacking 303kB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?

This workaround solves the Scribus issue, but deprives me of keeping my system up to date with the current kubuntu development.

Question: Does kubuntu-desktop really need this dependancy?
