The SVN version of GIMP does add a shortcut to the standard color profile location to the profile file-chooser dialog on Windows (see bug #503410). This is not implemented in GIMP 2.4. GIMP uses the systemwide configured display profile on almost all platforms though. This includes Windows and Mac OS X. > Some color managed applications under Linux make use of the .color > directory in your home directory. I don't know if gimp does that. It does.
