I was just talking about "communicate using subwindow id/profile tuples" vs.
"communicate using toplevel window region/profile tuples". The former would
save a bit of code in the toolkit, but would complicate compositing managers
significantly; which is why I strongly prefer the latter.

I wasn't talking about color management in the CM in general :)
