gui for gcm missing?

Hi,

I just started to dig into color management. I'm running Lubuntu 11.10
and thought, that gcm could be a nice front end for colord (I'm not
aware of a native gui app for LXDE). So I installed gcm (package:
3.2.0-ubuntu1) via Synaptic. But also after rebooting it doesn't appear
in my menu. Thus I was looking for command line tools to start the gui
manually.
But I'm only able to run "gcm-viewer" successfully to watch my
ICC-profiles. There I can have a look at all the files and its
attributes. That's all, I think.
If I want to run "gcm-picker" it tells me, that no color-sensor is
attached, which is true (I don't own one).
If I want to run "gcm-calibrate" it complains that I didn't specify a
device. Well, that's true again, but I don't know how to do it and what
device it is asking for... (the man page is not that long[1] and as I
said, original I was looking for a nice gui app).
If I run "gcm-import" I get a graphical pop up telling me that I didn't
specify a file name. That's also true, but what file should I specify? I
mean, what will happen to this file... Should I point it to my
ICC-files, or are they yet imported, because I can see them in
"gcm-viewer"? The man page is in addition not very helpful for me.
"gcm-inspect" is exiting without any message at all.
And I'm totally missing "gcm-prefs" that is named at various places on
the net.

So my question is, how can I start the main screen shown in the screen
shots?[2] Do I need to install any extra packages? In one man page the
gnome-control-center was named. But as I'm running Lubuntu with LXDE and
not Gnome, I'm a little bit afraid to install to much gnome
dependencies, I mean, I do have a working application to define the
desktop appearance, front, wallpaper and so on, do I really need the
gnome-control-center?

Would be really nice, if somebody can point out to me the right way to
use gcm. I wasn't able to find something on the web helping me.

Thanks in advance,
Simon


[1] actually there is written something about gcm-import and not about
gcm-calibrate
