It's not Photoshop 6's fault. It simply loads the system profile. If you are
on OS9, you need to go into the Monitors control panel and set the system
profile there. Photoshop simply looks there to see what's loaded and uses
that.

Actually, it is Photoshop's fault. It loads the system profile, and
if it finds that the white point doesn't map to something
recognizable as white, it ignores it. I don't know if this is
documented anywhere (yet). I ran into this very issue on one of the
betas with a monitor profile built by Colorshop. Thomas relaxed the
code to allow Colorshop profiles to show up, but if you edit the
monitor white point as Joe had done, Photoshop 6 will ignore the
profile.
It's probably a good idea, but I think we should suggest some kind of
user feedback for the dot release...
