Yup, this has been done by gnome-color-manager for about 2 releases
now (1 year+), and colord-kde for a few months.

The so called "auto-edid" profile doesn't have any VCGT data, and so
if it's being used by default then then VCGT is cleared to a unity
gamma ramp as if there was no profile set at all. Are you loading a
VCGT before gnome starts somehow?
