Leonard, Lars, et. al.,

yes, gimp gives me the prompt for what to do with the embedded profile,
and I kept it. Also, I don't think it's a problem with gimp and the
image, because I'm also in this situation with pics straight out of my
DSLR as sRGB RAW via uraw. I was only giving this test image to provide
a more easily reproducible test.

As far as eog is concerned, I get the same error and the image opens
fine. I am not, however, sure that that means it does color mgmt. better
than gimp. I suspect, it just completely ignores the profile due to the
error, because the image as eog displays it looks identical to the image
displayed in gthumb, firefox, or f-spot.

The system I'm on is: ubuntu intrepid i386, argyll 1.0.3 from the
precompiled binaries on a Toshiba M9 with nvidia graphics, Eye-1 Display
2 colorimeter.


Thanks,

Karl.
