I have a monitor with a wide gamut, which is awesome. And i also have one that does 10 bit colour. Last time i tried running X11 in 10bpc instead of 8bpc i found that too much broke outside gimp's image window - including the gimp toolbox and docks and all window decorations (for all windows, not just gimp), as something (libgtk and the desktop compositor both i think) was still trying to use 8 bits for transparency when 10 bits means a 32 bit word is (10R, 10G, 10B, 2 alpha). But it worked fine in Windows, and my guess is that if it doesn't work already it'll work in the gtk3 version of gimp planned some times after gimp 2.10. i could repeat the experiment maybe in the next few days if it'd be of use.
