console.log reports that the missing icons are null pixmaps, e.g. : Unable to load icon /sw/lib/scribus-aqua/share/scribus/icons//AppIcon.png: Got null pixmap However, the image files look normal in Preview.app > The Scribus.app was not "freshly" built (i.e., from current developer > tools), which is why I built scribus 1.3.1-2.

With a color TIFF I was able to get _something_, but the color map was way off. Also, the previews for TIFFs don't seem to work correctly, either. By converting the images to JPEG (I used ImageMagick), I was able to have the show up correctly. Here's a screen grab from Scribus.app. (the X11 version behaved the same way): http://ldx3.psfc.mit.edu/~hansen/scribus-aqua_grab.tiff It looks like something is strange is going on in the TIFF handling. I guess Stan can try converting to another bitmap format for now (e.g. JPEG) and that should work. -- Alexander K.
