The original Compiz plugin from Tomas Carnecky had a opt-in model 
in mind. However I inverted that to a opt-out model after priorising the 
average code, which assumes sRGB everywhere to support 99% of the users.
(Hey, thats cool marketing :).
Tomas' code would have to be introduced again with a extension of the 
net-color spec to communicate that capabilities to applications. That 
would need a volunteer.
