I've gone through various other steps on OSX 2.3 and OSX 2.8. I'm not running 
3.x while on the road so I can't simulate directly.

Anyway, here's a couple of points:

Under /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays/ there is a system created Factory 
.icc profile which describes the video card VLUT. (On my powerbook it is called 
Color LCD-4270A80.icc)
Make sure all apps are closed.
Open Colorsync Utility and also the finder window containing this profile. 
Delete the video profile and immediately empty the trash.
Re-select your display profile under Current Profile.
Restart your system immediately.
This should create and lock a new Factory profile in place linked in your 
ColorsyncUtility.plist preferences to the Display Profile you have chosen.
Open as many applications as you like.
Check settings and restart again.

If this doesn't seem to do the trick then follow the steps under Cause 2: 
Corrupt Colorsync Preferences at 
http://www.jcsewell.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/c1/colorsync.htm

If you use Classic under OSX it is a bit more convoluted but I'll stop there 
before I start ranting.

Top of the season to you all...sounds like you and yours already had an early 
and wonderful Christmas. ;0)
