Same problem here (partly)!

I'm on a desktop with Samsung SyncMaster P2250 Monitor and on an older laptop with fresh precise 12.04
installed.

The laptop is showing the picture as expected.
The desktop has the problem.

1) Only seen with eog. All of gimp, firefox, and shotwell show the picture as expected.

Is eog special with respect to color management?

2) System Settings->Color show
on the laptop: Uncalibrated as status
on the desktop: No calibration status

Is the (newer) SyncMaster based system expecting color profile calibration or even add-on
profiles, as Tayroni Alves (tayroni-alves) suggests in this thread? And then which and from where?

For the time being, I use shotwell, start to read Color Management Docu and wait for a brave sole to post
a solution here ;-)
