OK,

Have a look at;

http://docs.gimp.org/2.8/en/gimp-pimping.html#gimp-prefs-color-management

Do you have color management activated in the preferences? Do you have
a monitor profile?

$ exiftool _DSF2455.JPG |grep Intero
Interoperability Index          : R03 - DCF option file (Adobe RGB)
Interoperability Version        : 0100

There should be many .icc files in /use/share/color/icc

I occasionally get an image sent to me with an embedded profile, gimp
asks me if sRGB will do to replace it.

Anyway, that's about the end of my knowledge.
