Description of problem:
-----------------------

I have a PNG image (a snapshot from a JIRA screen) that is perfectly well displayed in Gwenview. 

However, loaded into Gimp, the blue colors are mangled and get a reddish tinge. 

However, the color pick tool applied to the bad color picks up the correct color, #205081 instead of the displayed #30317c so it's really a problem of how #205081 is rendered.

Added a snapshot of the image in gwenview and Gimp for comparison.

This occurs for gimp-2.8.10-4.fc20.x86_64

Argh, disregard!

I didn't think about Display Filters.

Gimp has added Color Management for the Laptop Screen on which I am NOT working (I am working on the secondary screen now), and this is totally inappropriate for this secondary screen.

Switching it off fixes things.

Well, an error of that kind WOULD have been amazing.

Figures. AIUI, color management for displays should be handled by the desktop environment (and per display), so moving windows between displays works without too drastic changes in color perception (if good profiles are in use).
