to be a Mac administrator to profile displays, and as an admin you could read and write to 
shared folders, so the profile could be put in a universal location. In recent versions you 
can profile even as a non-admin user, but to allow that, the profiles and related stuff is 
being stored in the User's folder, so its not available to anyone else. Security issues are 
making global conveniences less easy to provide...

the profile for the display via the displays control panel.  Please note that fast user 
switching can throw a kink into color management, so its best to have only one user 
logged on at at time for color managed work.

Ok. I profiled once and picked the monitor profile via the display control panel. Now what I 
noticed is a "colorvision startup" icon blinking when I power on the computer with one 
user, but can't see that application with the other user. What is that?
