Ah yes, that makes sense. Even though we have the _ICC_PROFILE(_xxx) spec 
as a default. Applications specifying the monitor profile despite the 
presence of a _ICC_PROFILE(_xxx) are on their own and the situation is 
pretty undefined.

Yes. The net-color spec requires the colour server (compiz-cms/CompICC) to 
replace the _ICC_PROFILE(_xxx) with sRGB and move the device profile to 
_ICC_DEVICE_PROFILE(_xxx). net-color spec aware applications can find the 
device profile there and use that together with the opt-out window 
regions.
