Bug Description

Inkscape 0.48.4 r9939
Windows 7 Home Premium and
Ubuntu 13.1

This is similar to Bug #632023. When certain ICC color profiles are selected they immediately deselect when the sliders are moved or new numbers are typed into the color values. I noticed this behavior when using the CoatedGRACol2006.icc profile. I was able to work around this problem by using a hex editor to change the colon and parenthesis to dashes in the profile name which was
 Coated-GRACol-2006--ISO(12647-2:2004)
after changes the profile name is
Coated-GRACol-2006--ISO-12647-2-2004-
Now I have no trouble manipulating the colors with the sliders and the profile seems to work properly.
It seems that the parenthesis in the name were not the problem it was the colon.
I removed the colon and left the parenthesis and there was no problem using the CMS feature.
But when I removed the parenthesis and left only the colon the bug was still present.
