From a discussion in the xfce forum ³ re. monitor color profiles support in xfce4-settings I figured two things: 1. it seems to need to be built with this support ¹ 2. it seems to need gnome-color-manager to show-up in the GUI ²
Re. #1, in fc30 it seems the packages wasn't built with this option and would need an update (I didn't check the spec file but /usr/bin/xfce4-color-settings is missing). Re. #2, I suppose the package would need to at least recommend gnome-color-manager .

Hi,
yes, colord support needs to be enabled at build time.
No, you don't need gnome-color-manager for that, you need something like xiccd for monitor profiles, saned for scanners and cupsd for printers. g-c-m is merely suggested for showing additional profile information (gcm-viewer) and for an optional calibrate button in the UI (gcm-calibrate).
Cheers Simon

I have rebuilt xfce4-settings with colord support. Updates have been submitted.
F30 - https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2019-d0179eb247 F31 - https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2019-70af080058
Please test and give feedback on bodhi and/or in the mailing list.
Thanks Mukundan. I installed it and there's the option in xfce4-settings-manager main window but it can't see any device, not even the monitor (which would be the only device as there's no printer/scanner). https://i.postimg.cc/pL6bc3cd/Screenshot-2019-08-28-15-23-37.png
I opened this topic because of the enquiry in the forum as I change color settings directly in the monitor as this is a desktop pc and it's at an arms length.
gnome-color-manager shows several profiles but I don't seem to find a way to enable them from the GUI either.
There is a abrt crash for kernel-core (5.2.9-200.fc30.x86_64) when I close the color profiles window without enough details for reporting, but when I click to see dmesg the last line says: [ 3398.489805] traps: xfce4-color-set[3192] general protection fault ip:7f9927be15b1 sp:7ffd99b6cef8 error:0 in libgobject-2.0.so.0.6000.6[7f9927bb6000+33000]
It happens consistently when closing the section from main xfce4-settings-manager, but not the standalone configuration window.
On an unrelated/somewhat related issue, this kernel seems to be misbehaving somewhat with xfce4 sessions. This a low powered old cpu and I was noticing delays at logout and once I even logged out and went do something else and when I came back there was a kernel panic or the like with the pc intermittently beeping from which I only came out with those magic-sysrq keys. I'm using nvidia 340 driver. Now I make sure to let the cpu settle before logging out. xfce is a bit problematic with this as there's a known bug of it leaving a lot of running processes after logout.
I installed the downloaded package directly, not with dnf (which should make no difference) and actually didn't read the docs to see if it needs some extra configuration to be enabled.
Not sure if you overlooked my earlier email, however you need something like xiccd to see monitor profiles in xfce4-color-settings.
Cheers Simon

Thanks Simon, I didn't overlook it, it's just that I couldn't find anything that provided it (tried with dnf, rpm and dnfdragora GUI).
Also, maybe I'm wrong again, but then the package should look for these dependencies, I suppose.

A guy posted in xfce forum he's having problems with xiccd in Debian.¹ ¹https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=13309
Maybe if it's still not much stable we could use gnome-settings-daemon? I mean in the sense of it not interfering with the rest of Xfce session?
Regards.
