Hi,

The way I do that is by using gimp-2.4. This version has basic colour 
management installed.

Then activate the colormanagement in scribus and use the same colour profiles 
in gimp and scribus and tell gimp that you want to have a print preview. The 
colours should match then.

Hope this helps.
