A editor/viewer would leave the numbers as is, until a manipulation is
wanted. This would be a nice feature.
Then ask the system (OS level color management, not lcms) if
the user opted to to work on any colour space -> leave the numbers,
the user opted to convert to editing (working) space -> check for
difference of image colour space to editing colour space -> convert to
editing colour space
the user opted to been queried -> promt for profile selection
The old or new image profile and the display profile are used to
transform colours from the image buffer into the display buffer.

Select the user prefered default profile.

Look at applications like Adobe CS, Scribus or CinePaint how they
behave and design the dialogs. Later provide source code.
