If you don't set them, then there's no possibility of them being used
by applications. Someone has to make that first step.

Both OS X and MSWin support applications that need color management
over multi-monitors. Why should Linux/X11 be deficient in this regard ?
How else will a multi-monitor application get correct color across
all its monitors ?

If I recall correctly, Xinerama is the only multi-monitor solution
that allows calibration using proprietary drivers. This will remain
the case until Xinerama is adopted universally. I suppose though that
there will be no great impact if this is not being supported.
