Disclaimer: Just some half knowledge
Softproof shows you how the print result (most likely) will look like.
If you do not like the result of the automagic gamut mapping, you
can/should develop your RAW to fit into the printer gamut -> until all
areas which are important to you do not show gamut warnings any more.

No. Thats plainly wrong. You export to some standard color space like
sRGB, AdobeRGB or ProPhotoRGB. If the image is processed for printing,
the colors are converted from this color space to the printer color space.
Display color management works the same way.
Standard color space -> Device color space.

How did you export them/to which color space? The result looks pretty
strange. Regarding color management, i would most likely trust GIMP and
Geeqie first, and eog not that much ;)

Without converting what? Can you explain this a bit more?
