Thought I'd bring this thread back.  I just did a complete distro change
(from SuSE to Debian Sarge), and I still notice the problem (detailed
above).

I needed to create another pdf and export the images to 96dpi, and I
found a strange workaround to this problem.  Initially, I tried to
replace the image.  This didn't work.  However, if I merely save the
image as another name, and 'Get Picture' again, this fixes the problem.
 Strange.

Is any one else experiencing this problem?

Scribus 1.2.1
