If GIF'S are truly a problem for you, there might be another possibility. I have successfully used an application called MathType by Design Science ( http://www.dessci.com/en/products/mathtype/) with InDesign CS3 (but I haven't yet tried it with Scribus).
MathType allows you to save your equations as an EPS or an EPS/tiff. Scribus should be able to accept the EPS (although, as I said above, I haven't yet tried it). MathType is not free, but it is the least expensive of the independent applications I have found (<$100 US or <$60 US if you can provide acamedic credentials). I have found it relatively easy to use and effective for a wide range of mathematical operations. Note that if you need to edit the equation(s), the editing must be done in MathType.
