Just how many more Ubuntu Studio, 64 Studio and AGNULAs do we *really*
need? :)

No, no and no. Integration between apps = transparent support for file formats.

Does Scribus import SVG flawlessly? Can GIMP render SVG so that all
shapes and SVG filters are editable? Can you save a multilayered ORA
with clipping paths fron GIMP and manage layers/paths in Scribus (like
you can with TIFF and PSD)?

Pick any pro user who does complete packages for companies (from
web-site to TV promos) and he'll tell you how easily you can pass data
between Ai, Ps, Fl and Ae. Yet another distro won't get us there and
there are people already who do "creative" distributions already,
based on Debian, Fedora, Slackware and whatnot.

Please stop using 199x distros :) Modern Qt4 apps can use Gtk+ file
dialogs just fine when launched in GNOME :)

That's the plan also discussed during the last LGM. Alessandro is your
primary contact here.
