No, this has already been taken care of. There's a setting in the
preferences dialog that specifies whether GIMP should ask or quietly do
the conversion or quietly keep the color space. The dialog also has a
toggle that allows the user to change this setting directly.

So that is not the problem. I still don't think that putting more
options into an expander is a good idea. Currently the dialog is a
simple Keep/Convert question. Adding an expander with options that only
affect one of the choices would be somewhat akward.

Anyway, the remaining questions are

(1) whether a separate preferences option is needed for the default
conversion intent (to make it distinct from the settings for display
intent)

(2) whether separate preference options need to be added to control the
black-point-compensation flag for display color correction, color
profile transformations and for print simulation
