Yep... a limitation in the PS/EPS import, or in Scribus's gradient capabilities, I presume.

(Tweaked descriptions to be more accurate).

It's a limitation of the PS/EPS importer, as gradients are a mess in Postscript Level 1 + 2, only Postscript Level 3 has a good way dealing with gradients. In PS-Level 1 + 2 gradients are simulated by splitting up that gradient into a series of smaller fills, no idea how to deal with that in the importer.

Ouch. Yeah... and I imagine importing it as many small vector objects would potentially result in way too many objects for Scribus to handle efficiently, right?

Maybe just report an error. If PS import can be refactored to happen asynchronously at some point, it could maintain a progress dialog that also lists problems found, with links to click on to see some help text about that issue (the widget could look something like firefox's download manager).

Fixed with the new poppler based PDF/PS/EPS importer in 1.5.0svn
