What step does not exist?
The last one?

Without any profile configured in firefox, I can see a notable change with 
images shown in firefox before and after loading a profile with dispwin

This is a doubt I have.
If I load a profile with dispwin -I, is it really neccesary to configure the 
same profile in gimp, firefox, geeqie... any color managed application?
Isn't it redundant?
