Under Fedora 9 Linux, if I understand correctly,
dispwin -I cal/profile
(a) loads the designated calibration into the video LUT and sets the ICC

dispwin -L
does (a). But my
~/.local/share/color/icc/devices/display
directory contains copies of every profile I have used.
Right. They'll stay there until you uninstall them using -U
How does dispwin -L know which one of them to use?
Because it's recorded the association between the profile
and the display in the file ~/.config/color.jcnf
See <http://www.argyllcms.com/doc/ucmm.html>
It's not likely anything other than Argyll uses this
convention though. Applications should really just be
looking for the appropriate atom:
<http://www.burtonini.com/computing/x-icc-profiles-spec-0.2.html>
that dispwin -L will create.
I ask this question because it seems clear that eye of gnome and gimp
are showing different things although both supposedly use the
calibration/profiling information, and I am trying to figure out why. I
believe that eog should be using color management because I checked the
source code. gimp and inkscape show exactly the same thing so I am
confident they are doing what they should.
Sorry, no idea.
