[argyllcms] Re: gnome-screensaver destroys lut table from dispwin but not from xcalib.

Using xcalib to load the profile prevents the lut to be destroyed after

The same with "rdesktop"  - a M$ terminal services client for linux.


There's not much more to be done about this, since the problem
is in XRandR 1.2 interaction with X legacy Lut access. To fix
multiple monitor issues under X, Argyll uses XRandR 1.2 if it's available,
but since other programs that fiddle with the Luts don't seem to
be XRandR 1.2 aware, and the X server implementations don't
seem to keep the Lut state consistent between the XRandR 1.2 interface
and the legacy Lut interface, there is the problem you notice.

Setting ARGYLL_IGNORE_XRANDR1_2 is a workaround for some situations,
but the only long term solution to encourage these other Apps. to
become XRandR 1.2 aware.
