[scribus] Using colour management

[Boris]

Hi

Yes I have it turned on, I have also used about very combination of 
settings that I can think of.
I have read the online manual about colour management, I understand 
about colour management.
I have also read about colour management and profiles from the 5 links I 
was offered on the forum.
My problem is not about understanding colour management, my problem is 
understanding how to get Scribus to work.
No matter what profile I use, it shows my image as out of gamut.
No matter what combination of profiles I set, it shows my image as out 
of gamut in the darker areas.
My red text is even out of gamut.
The problem I believe is nothing to do with colour management, I think 
some box isn't ticked somewhere or the wrong box is ticked, and I can't 
find which one.
However one suggestion was to continue without colour management. Well 
what's the point of using a high end tool if you're not going to use one 
of it's best features?
So, I need for someone to look beyond trying to teach me everything 
there is to know about colour management, which I've got coming out of 
my ears, and help me understand why the program isn't accepting the 
profiles.
If it helps, here's a screenshot to show the preferences.

IMage of preferences

Gary
