+xiccd
+
+xiccd is a simple bridge between colord and X. It does the following
+tasks:
+
+ * Enumerates displays and register them in colord;
+ * Creates default ICC profiles based on EDID data;
+ * Applies ICC profiles provided by colord;
+ * Maintains user's private ICC storage directory.
+
+It does basically the same as gnome-settings-daemon color plugin or
+colord-kde but does not depend on any particular desktop. It even
+doesn't depend on GTK so it doesn't create useless GTK3 dependency if
+the desktop environment is GTK2-based or vice versa. The primary goal of
+xiccd is providing color profile support for desktop environments other
+than Gnome and KDE (Xfce, LXDE and probably others) that do not support
+native color management yet. It is however not meant to be excuse of not
+adding native color management to the session daemons of them.

+xiccd is distributed under the terms of GNU General Public License
+version 3 or later.
