I am using 1.3.5 of very recent vintage.  I right clicked on the map 
image taken from one of the templates and clicked on "edit image." 
Immediately I was taken to Gimp. Maybe it is just a menu issue. What 
I see as edit image is what you see as "edit from an external 
program."

(Gimp had problems with the jpg image but that is not a Scribus 
problem.  I am still trying to get Gimp to upgrade properly on my 
Slackware system. There is something bollixed up in gegl and so on.  
But that is not the issue here. )
