Yesterday, I was a little exited when I discovered that ubuntu have
the xicc tool in the univers repository. It loads a color profile
according to the ICC Profiles In X Specification

I have no idea of the situation on other linux distributions, but I
suggest that the linux section of Scenarios.html is updated with a
line about also loading the color profile this way. It is also
important to do the dispwin step since Ross Burton's  xicc utility
don't load the clut.  It's just nice to be prepared, since this year
will be the linux in the colormanagement history, according to my
crystal ball :-)

Another suggestion may of course be that dispwin is patched to also
load this X11 atom. I don't think it to much work  since Ross Burton's
 xicc.c is only 34 lines long.

OK, I've added two new options to dispwin. One (-S) sets the appropriate
_ICC_PROFILE property (Including taking care of the different properties
used for multiple screens) and the other (-L) to set the video LUT to the
calibration contained in the profile in the _ICC_PROFILE property.

I've also updated Scenarios.html to mention this is the X11 section.
