/usr/share/color/icc and ~/.color/icc is the current state used by CinePaint. Others are application specific. > 4.

What kind of application specific profiles is to been rolling over linux? I like to ask for an example. Thanks > That is pretty much it really.

An application should go the easy way and not care about, what is the display doing and asking for further complications. It is simple and sufficient to know about the workspace (Lab or sRGB, even CMYK as workspace should remain used by experts only). Tuning of monitors and printers is an very different thing.

To reach an consitent feel over the desktop it would be nice to handle the monitor as an whole device, not simple from the view of an application window. Of course handling video, openGL, new data formats like nvidias half and X-rendering consitently seems not an simple reachable goal.
