LaTeX frames / Renderframes are just a special variant of imageframes. They
only work with external programs that produce files that can be placed in an 
imageframe. If you place an EPS in an imageframe, it will also be rasterized
with 
ghostscript (In fact we use ghostscript to convert EPS -> PDF and embed that 
if PDF embedding is enabled)


OTOH EPS *import* produces native Scribus objects. EPS import is still not
100%
complete and importing text uses lots of memory. We don't use this path for 
imageframes since rasterizing with ghostscript is 99.99% safe.
