Comment 5 for bug 853056

I believe this will not be fixed any time soon, as it's not a fault in Ubuntu.
The new Gnome 3 settings don't provide this functionality as of now.

As a workaround, you can do the following:
1. install argyll color management suite
2. create a file containing the following:
#!/bin/bash
dispwin /path/to/your/icc/profile.icc
3. make the file executable
4. add the newly created skript to your start programs
