It may not be the monitor profile as much as an Apple's flavour genericRGB
profile. It could be that the photos are actually displayed using some kind
of custom saturation intent. Hard to know until you actually have access to
the code or ask the developer.

Subject: Apple photo screensaver on wide gamut monitor
Ok, I realize this is not the most important question in the world, but
using the Snow Leopard built-in Photos screen saver, I am noticing that my
photos are being displayed with a pumped up saturation.
The images are jpegs in srgb (exported from originals in Lightroom). I am on
a profiled wide gamut Dell U3011 monitor. Opening the same images in Preview
they definitely look distinctly different (i.e. correct) than they do in the
screen saver. Also, I checked another machine -- a Macbook Pro with its
internal screen and attached to a cheap flat screen, and I am not seeing
this effect. So apparently it has something to do with the profiles and the
wide gamut monitor.
Somebody on another forum suggested that the screen saver is not profile
aware, and that I should export the photos from Lightroom using the
monitor's profile instead of srgb. I tried that, but the results are
identical (i.e. the same oversaturated appearance in the screensaver, and
perfectly normal in Preview etc.).
Any ideas?
