What does you understand by system device profiles?
The Fogra Cmyk profiles describe startdardised devices. These profile are 
typical installed below /usr/share/color/icc.

Back to the source of this thread. The monitor profiles, which ArgyllCMS 
wants to install, can reside in a special folder or subfolder as you like.
But e.g. in CinePaint they are a matter of UI representation. Each device 
and colour space profile is be selectable as proofing profile. So scanning 
of directories containing such profiles will always be on.

A resolution switch affects the geometry information provided by 
Xinerama and the move of a monitor declared to xorg.conf will affect the 
profile selection as well. Well it is like you describe above, just the 
limitations apply for non static configurations.
