Thanks John,
I'm running an Alu 20" Cinema off my 15" Powerbook (FW800) with 10.3.7. Both displays are profiled with Monaco Optix XR Pro and I am using a LUT table based profile for the Cinema and a matrix profile for the PB.

Ah.  Actually I should amend my statement that Preview always matches to the profile of the default display, it's more accurate to say it matches to the system profile which is equivalent to the profile of the default display unless an application specifically sets the system profile to something else.  Long sentence.  Ordinarily the system profile should be the same as the profile of the default display, so that setting a new profile for the default display automatically updates the system profile setting to point to the new display profile.  Unfortunately some calibration apps may be setting the system profile directly which causes the system profile and display profile to become unlinked.  Based on what you just said I think that's what you're seeing.  There isn't a way to set or even determine the system profile directly in the user interface anymore.  What you want to do is find out what your system profile is set to, and compare that to the profile of the default display, to see if they're the same.  If they're not the same, then this is the problem.  So how do you determine the system profile if there's no UI?  With Applescript.  Launch Script Editor (Applications/Applescript/Script Editor) and paste this into it:


tell application "ColorSyncScripting"
    get system profile
end tell

and hit the green Run button.  You'll see the result in the Result section in the bottom part of the window, it'll be something like 


profile "Color LCD" of application "ColorSyncScripting"
