libclutter?  color management?

Are you referring to this? 
http://developer.gnome.org/clutter/1.9/clutter-Colors.html

The thing that jumps out to me is that the 8-bit color assumption is 
baked in.  Given that GIMP master already supports arbitrary-bit-depth 
images (not release-ready, yet, but it definitely works), it seems we 
should be preparing for an onslaught of 16-bit linear TIFFs and PNGs.

As a photographer, I know there are lots of situations where 8-bit 
formats killed me for banding in large gradient areas (imagine a sunset 
in grayscale).

(Naive statement) I'd personally like to see us use babl to support 
arbitrary color formats.  To be explicitly clear, I don't know what we 
do or don't support today, and I also don't know how babl might affect 
our performance.  Just wanted to put that out there, though.

GTK 2.24.0 was released in Jan 2011.  That'll have been a full two years 
by the end of this year. No need to support anything older than that, 
especially if it requires extra #ifdefs.
