The problem IMO is that there is no comprehensive CM solution for Linux. There 
is ArgyllCMS, which is probably powerful, but cryptic.
In digikam, we attempt to do what we can within our scope, but there is no 
system-wide profile register, no good support for setting a monitor profile 
(I'm talking about a KDE-based UI), what about printing?
Let alone a wizard to guide throught the creation of a profile even if you 
have bought a target and made a photo of it.
