You shouldn't now as you discovered hugin (I love it!)

what version of hugin do you use?
What kind of ugly stitch lines do you mean?? Is due to vignetting with your 
camera? (it's normally fixed by enblend)

If you want to have the most up-to-date version of hugin, you probably have to 
download the cvs version and compile it yourself (depending on which linux 
distribution you have, you can find some relatively up-to-date version of 
hugin...).
