I don't think it's a good idea to have the window server doing some display compensation for "dumb applications" and then having other smart applications opt-out and do their own display compensation that's different. I would think if you're going to go to the effort of creating a window server that can do any sort of display compensation, you will find engineers (say from GIMP) who will help with that effort and optimize it, rather than having to build their own display compensation routines.

I know that in the past I've discussed this with X people (including Keith Packard) and had it explained that the place for color management the way we're looking at it was most likely not in the display server.

When asked briefly again the other day, Keith stated that the management abilities currently in X11 will be made present in the post-X solution they're looking at.
