2. Relabel the option as "Assume this image is an sRGB image".
That definitely not, but I will immediately add tooltips saying that
it is the same as choosing sRGB.
Done, this should be more obvious now:

app: add tooltips that mention that disabling color management ==
sRGB
Also say "better leave this enabled".

libgimpwidgets: change the tooltip of GimpColorConfig:mode
to say "How images are displayed on screen." instead of "Mode of
operation for color management.". The old text was never accurate.
I beg to differ. The old text was perfectly descriptive. The new text is
merely vague.
Before there was ICC profile color management, when a person displayed
an image on their monitor, what they saw depended entirely on their
monitor, that is, on the type of phosphors (assuming a CRT) used to make
colors, combined with the state of calibration of their monitor.
In other words, before ICC profile color management, everyone edited
their images in their monitor's color space.
Limiting ourselves to the most basic, practical, applied level of color
management - ICC profile color management of RGB images displayed on a
monitor screen requires three things:
1. That the monitor be assigned an ICC display profile that describes
the monitor's display characteristics.
2. That the image be assigned an ICC RGB working space profile that
properly interprets (give meaning to) the image RGB values.
3. That a CMM such as LCMS be used to convert the image from the image's
assigned ICC RGB working space profile to the monitor's assigned ICC
display profile.
By definition, disabling ICC profile color management means the above
three-listed items don't happen. Instead the image RGB values are sent
directly to the screen.
The new GIMP "color management" options are *LYING* to the user.
When making a new image, unchecking "Color manage this image" does *NOT*
disable color management.
When navigating to "Image/Color Management", unchecking "Enable color
management" does *NOT* disable color management.
Please find another set of "UI" words for designating these new options.
Or better yet get rid of the new options as they are guaranteed to cause
a great deal of confusion and misunderstanding among GIMP users.
Best,
Elle
