This patch does not appear to officially be in eog at this point (per eog
ChangeLog).

I will consider color profile support for GQview once a standard is created to
set the color profile of the display.

Color profiles need two points of information, one in the source image and one
set by the system for the destination display (and/or printer). The missing
point right now is for the display - there is no current standard way to set the
color profile of your display. Each application that supports color profiling
currently needs to have it's own preference option to set the profile.

The GNOME wiki outlines the current situation:
