At a first glace this seems right. Just calibration and device profile 
selection highly depends each on the other. One monitor profile may be 
completely useless with not belonging calibration settings. Therefore some 
profilers pack the VCGT (VideoCardGammaTable) tag into the profile itself.
But thats not enough.

In the long run such stuff would be less work do be programmed once and 
consistence across desktops to make colour management for Linux (or 
more specifically for X11), and not just Gnome. The spot should be on the 
user of a computer, even if it seems harder to go beyond a operating 
system. As a analogy, after switching the desktop I would expect to use 
the same Xorg or printer configurations.


If you'd like to work on the logic and a UI including all desktops, the 
CMS library Oyranos might be a good place.
