Hi. I still find this kinda confusing.
Is there a tutorial that step-by-step states:
1. Where and how to download some frequently used profiles, like Adobe's?
2. Where to put the .icc-files on the various platforms (Mac/Linux/Windows) in order to make Inkscape use them.
3. If installing LittleCMS or similar is needed to make this work?
I tried having a look at Inkscape.org, Flossmanuals, Wikipedia but to no avail. Searching for icc on Inkscape.org only gives me a hint about manually adding an XML element to each file when use of ICC profiles i s desired. http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Adding_color-profile_element . 
I also can not get the dropdowns in the Preferences --> Color Management dialog to work even when I follow minombresbond's advice.
Sorry if this is obvious to you all but I'm having a bit of a struggle. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks :),
Jimmy Volatile.

yes, manually, with f7 color tool

I dont know if exist any function for 'automate' this, in inkscape, or
in any other vector software

if a complex art, then export to png, and remove alpha channel in gimp
if necessary

remove transparency it is a common recommendation from printing bureau

place the icc profiles in /usr/share/color/icc ( gnu/linux os)

there is a icc package called 'icc-profile' in many distros

here inkscape Color Management tutorial:

http://en.flossmanuals.net/Inkscape/ColorManagement

always need *two* icc color profiles, that work like this:

 +------------------+
 | RGB screen color |  RGB values,
 +------------------+  colors which can be viewed on screen
         |
         |
    RGB profile (your monitor icc profile)
         |
         V
  +--------------+
  | 'REAL' color |    platonic color world
  +--------------+
         |
         |
   CMYK profile (like 'euroscale coated')
         |
         |
 +----------------+
 | offset printer |    CMYK values,
 +----------------+    colors which can be viewed on paper

saludos!
