How does the system know what the "persistently configured profile" is?
Where is it or its location stored?


Notice that <http://www.argyllcms.com/doc/dispwin.html#I> refers
to <http://www.argyllcms.com/doc/ucmm.html>, which explains
where this information is stored.


As I understand it, when I first login, thus restarting X, my system
doesn't know anything about a profile and the video card has whatever
its default LUT is. 

Yep.


As far as I can see, if I just run dispwin -L (no argument), my system
won't know how to set _ICC_PROFILE.


It will if you've installed the profile using dispwin -I xxxx.icc.


I suppose dispwin -L (no argument) could look in some standard location
such as ~/.color.  Is that what happens?


Sorry, I can't remember off hand, and I don't have a Linux machine on at
the moment.
