Just for the sake of completeness: Regardless of what gamma you end
up calibrating your monitor to, and assumed that sRGB images should
be viewed with a gamma of (say) 2.4 instead of with sRGB curve, then
in a colormanaged workflow you'd actually have to discard the
embedded sRGB profile from the image, and embed a profile with the
same primaries but a gamma of 2.4 (I hope this is not too confusing,
I myself start to get a bit dizzy at the moment ;))
In a color managed workflow, the transformation from the image profile
to the display profile should properly take into account the viewing
conditions. If it does so, then it will make a similar viewing transform
to that of displaying a 2.2 gamma source on a 2.4 gamma destination.
This can be accomplished using Argyll tools by using the viewing
conditions
parameters when creating profiles and/or device links (-c and -d
parameters).
Note that the (theoretical) correct way of setting up a display to be
calibrated to sRGB, is to select sRGB as a target in dispcal, but ensure
that the ambient light correction is used (either by measuring the
ambient light with your instrument (if it is capable of it), or
estimating your ambient level, and feeding it in via the -a argument)
