Look in source code :

Main cpp file managing CM setup page is here :

https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/graphics/digikam/repository/revisions/master/entry/utilities/setup/setupicc.cpp

The combobox hosting monitor profile settings is this one :

https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/graphics/digikam/repository/revisions/master/entry/utilities/setup/setupicc.cpp#L371

Look like we check if a monitor profile is set in window manager (X11 under
Linux). If it's not the case, we set the monitor color profile detected at scan
time, else the combox box is cleared and we indicate that monitor CM is
performed by window manager :

https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/graphics/digikam/repository/revisions/master/entry/utilities/setup/setupicc.cpp#L712

To resume : if you have set a monitor CM by Window Manager, you must turn off
this settings to be able to use a dedicated one in digiKam. You cannot turn off
this settings by digiKam. This must be by end user. Also, it's not logic to
cumulate CM from WM and DK. This will generate color artifacts everywhere.

As i said prefiously, this code has not changed since a while. We don't
introduce a bug here. You must search in another place from your compter
settings.
