Excellent - thanks for that, it does precisely what I need :)

OK - thanks for that too :)  That patch is a tarball of replacement .c 
and .h files, so I've downloaded 2.0.0 and made a diff using the 
tarball, then updated the patch to work with 2.1.4 - seems to be working 
fine...

Here's the updated patch - I tried to attach it to my common in the 
feature tracker, but I couldn't figure out how - I guess regular users 
don't have the permissions to do that?

Yeah, colour management is in a chicken-and-egg situation at the moment 
- so few apps can make good use of profiles that they're not yet useful 
enough to be widespread, but the demand is growing as support improves. :)

All the best,
