Ok, Ok I'm late ;-)

but, SIS630-chipset-notebooks (popular lo-cost notebooks like Gericom Webboy 
series support this - and it is way cool! Last time I tested KPresenter on 
Xinerama-notebook it cleared the external monitor and shows the presentation 
only on the TFT :-} I think a sepeate Xinerama presentation window is a 
killer feature (with a nice KPresenter-Logo for the audience when you havent 
start your presentation ;-)

Another deeply missed KPresenter feature: Maximize scaling of a slide (e.g. 
800x600 pt) when printing centred on A4 (or whatever). Last time I tried 
printing of slides it was unscaled top left on a landscape A4. You can make 
an option dialog when changing the slide layout dialog: scale to fit 
(constant aspect).   

BTW:
I'm really impressed by the qualitiy off kword-doc-import in current CVS. The 
layout of the imported text looks great, sometimes when I enter a e.g. table 
this destroys the formating, but so far: KOffice and filter-developer, great 
job! :-)) 

Bye
