Hmm, but if one changes brightness etc., doesn't this
mean one gets maybe a different gamma?
(this question might just show off my non-knowledge
on ICC profiles and monitor calibration ...)

The problem is that none of the cheaper
calibrators is supported under linux
(the spyder hack reverse engineering effort
did not yet succeed: http://yan-ke.com/spyder/)
Only Xrite DTP-94 and Xrite DTP-92
together with the Argyll Color Management System
seem to provide a 100% linux solution...

It seems that currently ``many`` people calibrate
under Windows (on a dual-boot machine) and use
the profile under linux,
