What then? Almost nothing, except for the lack of support for GIMP XCF files. Apart from XCF import, GraphicsMagick is not needed to operate Scribus 1.5.x in any meaningful way. GIMP can convert almost any relevant pixel format in the world into something that Scribus can import (most notably PSD and ORA).
