Thanks, Chris. I would need precise instruction on how to create a VM with the same characteristics you used, including an example config. My system config was pretty much created by the graphical installer.
By the way, every time I run GIMP from a terminal, I see these warning and error:
##########
$ LANG=en_US.utf-8 gimp

And every time I run Scribus from a terminal, I see this:
pathForIcon: Unable to load icon /gnu/store/5xqmac50axcgc8vrrn30jvzndjvrqd6a-scribus-1.5.4/share/scribus/icons/1_5_1/zeichen.png: File not found
Also, running:
$ strace -f -o gimp.out gimp
$ strace -f -o scribus.out scribus
I see many lines containing messages of things that seem to fail. For instance, "No existe el fichero o el directorio", "Argumento inválido", among other messages (in English these would be something like "No such file or directory" and "Invalid argument", respectively).
