This is somewhat old. I remember working on that bug myself as it was
annoying for both gnome-screensaver and xscreensaver if I had profiles
set.

However, the issue was clearly fixed and I did't see this anymore on a
range of systems since then (nvidia, intel mostly).

This is not the right solution afaik. Applications should not fiddle
with the color profile settings unless they are created to do just that.

If you are sure gnome-screensaver causes it please file a bug.
gnome-screensaver must respect the LUT settings here (the code
apparently does already...).

As noted above, this works fine on a couple of systems I tested for
2.28.

What gfx driver do you use and which component versions (xorg, driver,
gnome-screensaver?
