The behaviour depends on the user settings in the colour management system
of the OS. On osX beeing it ColorSync for Windows ICM. For Linux / BSD
there is still nothing distributed by default. For the later you could
implement yourself a dialog allowing users to do the settings.
The more experience your user have more fine grained settings should be
possible.
sRGB is a possible workflow, like on plain Windows, but more for office +
home users.
