I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to say, sorry.

Erm, no. CUPS doesn't do the display correction. colord has the policy
which the session agent then applies. This has to be done in the
session as the system does not have access to Xorg. I'm not sure why
the file browser would be involved.

At least on this system all the PPD files are managed by my packaging
system, and editing those files isn't a good idea. I shouldn't be
editing PPD files to change the default printer profile, just like I
shouldn't be editing xorg.conf for a display profile.

We still use the PS workflow in Fedora.
