My own solution was quite simple: Some time ago I have I set my LCD monitor 
to srgb; POV's Display_Gamma to srgb; assumed_gamma to 1.0. And everything 
has been fine since then. I cannot follow large parts of the gamma 
discussion, but at least I have understood that these settings are 
fundamental, so I do not bother about it any more.  :-)
The only thing now is that in some cases I have to experiment  with rgb <> 
or srgb <> in my textures, but that is fun.
