I'd really love to have some standard to have this managed in a 
cross-desktop way. Since xicc seems to do stuff on top of X, we can 
juste try to establish a standard so that whatever the user use, KDE or 
GNOME, it will be able to have an ICC profile for it.

Beside that, extracting ICC profiles with libexif seems to be doable.

Thanks. Reading that too.

I think we are slipping out of topic for libexif :-)
