Yes it's a small problem if we really want platform parity for such apps - I think it's more compelling to allow Photoshop/Lightroom to use ACE for display compensation, just as they do on Mac OS and Windows, and have that pass through Wine and the compositing manager.

Otherwise it means fibbing to Photoshop and Lightroom, which cannot have display compensation disabled, about the actual display profile with something like ProPhoto RGB. And then the compositing manager doing a display compensation. In this case we lose all of the soft proofing features in Photoshop, InDesign, etc. I don't think that's the best way to be supporting these applications even if it is a really tiny number of people doing this.
