While I agree that KDE needs colormanagement built-in, especially with artists moving to KDE (I get \
almost no bug reports for Krita from gnome users anymore, while that used to be the majority...) it's not \
like nothing has been done before for KDE:

Especially:

http://www.oyranos.org/2011/11/kde-and-colour-management/
http://www.oyranos.org/kolormanager/

which are now, afaik, being used in OpenSUSE. There's quite a bit of contentiousness between around this \
topic, and I have to say, while I don't get the technical differences all the time, I do understand the \
friction I see happening on, e.g., the openicc mailing list.

With all the respect I feel for Richard, I do think that this is yet another of those technologies that \
get developed in splendid isolation for Gnome, forced upon the Linux world by Redhat, claimed to be a \
standard and which is then used to complain about KDE's lack of involvement yet again. It makes me feel a \
bit unhappy.
