If anyone would like sample images with different color profiles and gammas,
I have made four jpegs (each sized at approximately 110 kb) of the same
image, each with a different color profile - sRGB with gamma 2.2 (more or
less, sRGB not having an exact gamma), Kodak ProPhoto with gamma 1.8,
AdobeRGB modified to have gamma 1, and AdobeRGB modified to have gamma 3. 
All four images look identical on my system when viewed using the gimp and
krita.  I'd be happy to email these images to anyone who would be willing to
see if they all display the same on digikam/gimp/krita on their system.  If
they all look the same on someone else's system, then I can start
trouble-shooting my own system for user error.  Otherwise, I will file an
official bug report.
