I actually think that the linear response curve is the correct behaviour. I
use gamma correction (2.2) on my CRT.

	The standard colorspace for web applications and image diffusion is
sRGB, which has an inbuilt gamma curve. The correct behavior for a
standard-compliant monitor is to have a gamma of 2.2 that will
exactly compensate the sRGB gamma.
