thanks again.  i understand that the file needs the .icc suffix, but my
question was what name did you give the directory in your .scribus directory
or does that really matter?  also, why didn't you save it to your
/usr/share/color/icc directory?  can that be accomplished without being
root?  is there a disadvantage by saving to the icc directory?

cheers,
