This is really important topic in working with digital photographs. With an 
incorrectly set screen, one can destroy the picture, since he might think that 
the picture is too dark, however the screen is the dark, not the picture.
About this topic, I have found a _very_ good site, with a very good gamma 
calibration picture.
This is it:

The description about the correct settings can be found at:

Maybe it would be possible to build in this picture to digikam...with the 
permission of the author, of course.

Best regards,
