Good time of day everyone!
I'm facing this problem with my Ubuntu 12.04.1 and a new ViewSonic monitor. The trouble is that the monitor has it's default gamma value set too high and there is no way I can adjust it by monitor hardware controls.
So far I've been using the xgamma -gamma .75 command to get a comfortable picture. The problem is that after the system is locked or after I go to the "Switch User" menu gamma is reset back to 1.0 level. What can I do to adjust it once and for all?
UPD: I tried to use lprof to create a new *.icm and to load it with gnome-color-manager, but I don't see any difference between the new and the default one. I don't even know if the profile had been applied correctly.

Did you ever manage to resolve this? I have the exact same issue. – Joost – 2015-12-12T12:59:54.833
@Joost, nope, sorry. Switched to OS X a few years ago, so this question is no longer of interest to me (for now). – svz – 2015-12-13T06:40:30.900
Aw! Im currently making that switch in the other direction. – Joost – 2015-12-13T09:41:40.193
