Display_Gamma = sRGB
global_settings {assumed_gamma 1.0}

I understand from the documentation that this last one should always be 
kept at 1 "for maximum realism" which is what I want. Using 2.2 or srgb 
instead make the colors darker, but if the image is loaded in Gimp for 
example, the colors do not match up with the initial ones. Neither with 
assumed_gamma 1 I must add. So, fundamentally, something is changed in 
between...

I give up. The matter is really going way beyond my understanding... :-(
