This functionality is in SVN in the kolor-manager module for System Setting in
KDE4.  Kolor-manager (and it's dependencies) supports not only monitor LUT
loading but also setting of the X11 _ICC_PROFILE atoms.  This work was done
during the Google Summer of Code 2008 by a student working with OpenICC. In
addition GSoC 2009 work on it, again sponsored by OpenICC, is in the process of
adding color management support for CUPS, sane and libraw.  There are two
separate GSoC student projects doing this work.

You can get kolor-manager from

svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/playground/graphics/kolor-manager 

Right at this time it is under heavy development and might be a little
difficult to get everything working (IE getting all of the pieces in the right
state for things to actually work).  In order to install it you will also need
oyranons git, xcalib and elektra and possibly some other stuff that will be
aggregated into either kolor-manager or oyranos when GSoC 2009 is finished. 
Kolor-manager is KDE 4.x only and current development is happening on a KDE
4.2.x machine.  When this settles down in a few weeks it should be useful to
users wishing to setup their display systems to properly support monitor
calibration.  The monitor stuff is actually fairly mature at this point and as
of the end of the 2008 project was very usable and user friendly.

The cups, sane and libraw support is more along the lines of putting in place
the support layers that will prove to be useful as color management matures in
these other systems.  Kolor-manager + Oyranos + xcalib + lcms can be thought of
as being analogous to the ColorSync system on OS/X. 

I also agree that changes need to take place in the System Settings -> Display
module to coordinate how video card gamma tables are handled on color
management aware systems.  See bug #150283 for more details.
