Not really. I used a launcher also from some time. The problem was
that I forgot  often to run it.
The most critical with that is when you launch an icc_profile aware
application before you run  your launcher. Lets do a test. This is
about the x11 atom, and it is not destroyed by gnome-screensaver, only
by logout.
I expect that gimp  has "Try to use the system profile" checked, under
 Edit-settings-color managment

$ xprop -root -remove _ICC_PROFILE

$ gimp test1.jpg
$ dispwin -I BRG.icc
* from gimp. File-open test2.jpg. On my system they are identical,
which is wrong of course.

My point is that with a shortcut there is a chance that you may not
have color management enabled in the applications.
