Problem solved!
The reason for the incompatibility is that the file maindoc.xml in the
beta3.5 version refers to
mime="application/x-killustrator"
Whereas that in version 1.1.0 refers to
mime="application/x-kontour"
So, to fix an old beta3.5 old.kpr file that has illustrations in it,
1) tar xzvf old.kpr
2) edit maindoc.xml and change "x-killustrator" to "x-kontour"
3) tar czvf new.kpr part*/* maindoc.xml documentinfo.xml pictures/*
4) kpresenter new.kpr should work
Note: although the strings "killustrator" and "KIllustrator" also appear
in the files parts*/maindoc.xml, they should be left alone! The change
is needed only in the top level file.
