Forget GS 7.07. Try the newer GPL 8.0x or AFPL 8.15+. They open Scribus PDFs 
correctly. FWIW, we test Scribus PDFs aaaallll the time with various 
preflight tools and its been ages since there was an issue. We are just 
waiting for the various Linux tools to catch up, and we are actively building 
support and gathering contact with the various people involved in distros and 
development teams themselves.

As for CMYK-JPGs, thats another story, given its origin (AFAIK) in PS itself.
