[Openicc] Questions to LCMS, monitor profiles and LINUX CM aware apps

[Jan-Peter Homann]

Hello list,
its agaim me, the mac OSX guy, who want´s to learn about Colormanagemnt 
under LINUX
Toda my questions are:

Place for LCMS in LINUX distributions
--------------------------
More or less all colormanagement (CM) aware applications under LINUX are 
usinf LCMS as CMM.
- Has LCMS a directory in LINUX distributions on the level of system 
libraries ?
- Do current CM aware LINUX apps use LCMS on the standard place or is it 
common, that every app installs their own version of LCMS ?

Place for the monitor profile
---------------------------
- is there a common place for the monitor profile under LINUX ?
- Do CM aware LINUX app take the monitor profile from this place ?
- Do we have a mechanism to change the active monitor profile and all CM 
aware LINUX apps will notice automatically this change ?

Place for other profiles
- is there a directory place for other profiles, which a CM aware LINUX 
should automatically look for ?

I know that Oyranos could deliver some of this necessary informations, 
but I i´m interested to hear what is the status of the CM aware LINUX 
app today.

Thank You
:-) Jan-Peter
