I think even brunettes will have a problem soft proofing on the fly. It
can't be done, AFAIK. Probably because Photoshop needs to do too many
calculations to convert from one mode to another but possibly for other
reasons best known to Adobe and the in-crowd.
The closest you can come to it is to occasionally spurt a copy by creating a
document of the current history state (History palette), soft proof it and
then compare it with your RGB image.

Your second window is a duplicate of the first so anything you do to the
original is, er, duplicated in the second window. Not doing anything silly,
just high expectations (quite normal, IMO).
