If there is even a remote interest in adapting this kwin/oyranos based 
solution, I would volunteer to research if and when this can be expected to be 
included in kde by default. A tleast color correction for multiple different 
monitors is working there already.

I want to stress, that this would cut out digikam users which are not using 
kwin as their window manager, and this is s.th. we for sure do not want. 
Hence, a solution to this end would be needed.

Best,
Wolfgang
