Someone posed a question on Scribus List about how to make the rounded corners of a shape like this. Making the inverted L-shape is easy enough in one of various ways, one being to make a very large letter L in a text frame, then Convert To > Outlines, after which you flip it, resize it a bit, then Convert To > Text Frame.
