EoG should support CM since 2.11.90 (see
http://www.linuxcompatible.org/Eye_of_GNOME_2.11.90_s51920.html)
However, you can do various tests for yourself (comparing the image in
two different viewers - gThumb is CM-non-aware, EoG should be aware) to
be sure. To see the if EoG works, _convert_ the test image to a colour
space (some wide rgb) significantly different from the monitor space
(usually close to sRGB).
BTW. EoG has a bug that it behaves as CM-aware app only for images with
embedded profiles or "Exif:ColorSpace" equal to "1" (in JPEGs). See bug
#554498 in bugzilla http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=554498
while it should assume that images without a profile are in sRGB or let
the user decide on that.
