It appears that xicc is available only under Debian/Ubuntu.  It isn't
available under Fedora.  But that is irrelevant because dispwin -L
does the same thing.

xprop -root  shows that _ICC_PROFILE has been set.  Also, both gimp and
inkscape make use of it.  But the versions I have of eog (under Fedora and
Ubuntu) don't appear to do so.   But it would be nice to be sure about
that.   I presume that any application which does make use of it will
mention that fact, in its preference settings or elsewhere.   That is why
I would like to see some further explanation of how it is supposed to work
under eog.
