Currently, applications supporting Ross XICC specification are : -eog (I fixed it last week) -gimp 2.4 -ufraw 0.13 and later -inkscape (but only in SVN atm) -f-spot (only partially, it only uses the profile when opening color dialog. I need to either fix it or fill a bug upstream) I have plans to integrate the xicc and LUT calibration data loading into GNOME directly (into gnome-settings-daemon). -- Frederic Crozat
