So, what's the alternative?

Note that working with linear colors is not a solution: Things being as 
they are, it just adds to the many nonstandard display gammas (1.0 in 
this case), opens up more cans of worms than going for the standard 
gamma of whatever OS you happen to be using (which would be 2.2 for 
Windows), and is therefore prone to being part of the problem instead.
