The blog comment you are referring to is about the *Windows* version of OO. Under Linux, cairocanvas has been available for some time now. As far as I can tell, the Unix version has had it since at least 2.0.3, as these release notes show: http://development.openoffice.org/releases/2.0.3.html (search for "cairo" inside the page.)
However, looking at /usr/share/doc/openoffice.org- impress/changelog.Debian.gz in my edgy installation (last updated yesterday) the Debian package deactivated cairocanvas around 2.0.0 (the reason is not dicussed in the changelog) and never reactivated it. It would be great if Ubuntu could give this feature a try, either for the upcoming Edgy release or for a future update, since it makes a huge difference when making presentations. -- [edgy + 1] use cairo canvas https://launchpad.net/bugs/66745 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
