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.
