Could you start to make to a list of applications and the fixes here
please: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeColorManager/FAQ -- I think a list
would be really useful for users.

Then we can file bugs against the programs to use the GCM DBus
interface or the ICCPROFILESINX specification and get things just
working by default.

As for everything else, I normally tag my "web-safe" with sRGB (it's a
tiny increase in size, and probably a good idea) and ensure the
display profile has been set correctly.
