When the dock is ugly, Keynote does'nt preview correctly although Preview, ColorSync utility and Adobe app's all preview color correctly. When the dock looks OK, so does Keynote although it's rare and I don't know what I have to do to reset everything.

That's very interesting… because this is a Mac Pro driving a PA271W.
This may be unrelated, but since the move to 10.8.3 we're also having problems profiling this panel using BasICColor Display and DISCUS.
Under 10.6.8 it calibrated very nicely, but now we're getting some ugly banding and loss of neutrality at RGB 25-25-25 and darker. The software shows very good values, but visually it doesn't look good at all. I switched the DISCUS for an i1 Pro 2 to see if it was a hardware problem but the resulting profile was even worse.
