  display_gamma affects the preview window. Its purpose is to be the
proper gamma for your system (that's usually 2.2).

  file_gamma should usually be the same as display_gamma, because that way
you are telling which display_gamma you were using when you made the image.

  (I have to admit that I don't remember now why display_gamma and file_gamma
are two separate values instead of being just one and the same.)

  No, you specify the proper file_gamma.
