So would it be possible to do a quick tutorial on how to adjust the gamma of ones videocard/monitor combination? If yes, I think it would be nice to have such a tutorial on www.gimp.org.

Some time ago I had the same problem than you: I went from default config (or lack of it) to something reasonable (or at least try). Yes, of course, my interface changed at first, so I compensated it but did not go back to unconfigured state. Since, when I have changed video card or monitor, I just had to check their settings, not change the interface all over again. That is what makes it desirable, two properly adjusted hardware sets will give a similar look.

I got in IRC a small code snipet that allows full modification, it inverts the colours so I think it should be possible to load any other curve you can think of, if it is per channel. > The "standard monitor" that is modelled by the sRGB colour space > (which is meant to describe the "average" [well-adjusted] PC monitor, > and is specified as the default colour space of the web) happens > to have a gamma of 2.2 (as well as a white colour of 6500K and a > bunch of other details). Most monitors I have found were not 2.2. Only last one is 2.2, and when sRGB preset. This "small detail" is what I think has caused lots of problems, people knew their monitor was designed to be pluged in a 50Hz socket, or 60, or auto select among both, but not what colour config was provided by it and the video card (and probably do not understand it anyway).

Or are they different parameters? They are different, it sets how white will look, 5500K is yellowish, 9300K is blueish, and 6500 can be considered middle ground (sRGB uses this one, iirc).
