PDF/X-3 most likely will not improve the situation. The issue is probably lack of sufficient resolution in the images. If you right click them there is a small info pane on the size and ppi.

If it is an "unofficial" Suse one, an update from Suse or the one from www.scribus.net or mirror, it certainly has lcms support. you can do rpm -qi ./scribus-1.2.1* in the directory where the rpm was installed from.
