Thanks, I'll have a look at it.

It does. And they are there. But nevertheless they don't appear in the
menu, don't ask me why. "Categories=System" looks good to me and
desktop-file-validate also gives no error.

Ah, okay, I see.

Uhm, that's about 16 more packages as dependencies... :-/ Are there
plans to make gcm usable without gnome-control-center? The openbox
config manager ObConf is probably not the right place as an alternative
for gcm.
Otherwise I'll probably go for learning to edit the config files of
colord by hand. I mean, "colormgr get-devices" gives me my web cam and
my printers, but not my lcd display and "colormgr get-profiles" gives me
quite a lot of profiles, but only one with the icc-file of my display,
so I would like to check if everything is going right. :)
