Hi,

The monitor profiler and other profiling tools are completely separate 
applications. 

They are available from www.littlecms.com/profilers.htm

Building them from source can be a bit tricky on some newer distros. 
Definitely apply the patch as well.

The monitor profiler does not run from any Scribus menu.

Hope that helps,
Peter
