IIRC, OpenOffice Draw can import/open WMF files quite well, and it can 
save EPS good enough to use them in Scribus, so that sounds like a nice 
way to me...

I think I converted my logos to EPS that way actually (after I had 
exported WMF from CorelDRAW! a long time ago, when I was still working 
on Windoze)...
