nautilus ignores color profiles in images

[pdknsk]

When you have an image with an embedded ICC profile, nautilus simply discards the profile and shows the image with wrong colors. I have noticed this in two occasions.

1. Automatically generated thumbnails in the file manager.
2. Wallpapers.

I'm not sure nautilus is responsible for the latter. I also reported this a Unity bug.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

This bug is still present in Ubuntu 14.04.
See http://imagik.fr/view-rl/145193 for an example : the colors shown with eog and the wallpaper are not the same. Eog shows right colors (icc profile correctly applied). The wallpaper is not shown with the icc profile.
