Sorry for this late response Daniel, but i have hacked indeep Color Management 
on digiKam this week, and i have fixed a lot of dysfunctions with color 
management view feature. Now yo u will see the correct color on the screen 
using editor and all image editor plugins.

The corrected source code is in svn and will be avaialble on next 0.9.0-RC2.

If you use svn , just checkout the source code, compile it and try again.
