I was trying to use iccexamine which you can get at:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=177017&package_id=247078

But it has a few depedencies that aren't available Debian.

I have no idea how GLX works, I've never looked at it before.

iccexamine works with the versions from experimental and segfaults
with the version from testing/unstable.
