I have just checked this again and it seems courious.
While the "official" openoffice distribution of Openoffice.org 2.0 for
linux has no "use hardware acceleration" switch, many Linux distribution
builds actually have! For instance, openoffice.org 2.0 as distributed by
Mandriva linux has a "use hardware acceleration" switch in the
"Strumenti" (tools) -> "Opzioni" (options) -> "Vista" menu.
Hence I believe that this is a code option that exhists in openoffice
and that is disabled in the official build, but enabled in the Mandriva
build.
Turning on this option (the default in the Mandriva distribution, I
believe) makes Impress deliver presentations much faster (it is normally
unbearably slow on my 3.0 GHz Pentium 4 PC, to the point that I usually
use no animation effects, export slides in PDF and use Acrobat reader as
a presentation tool) , but also makes Openoffice mess up everything in
the presentation (fonts/character spacing).

Probably, distributions should be warned never to include the "use
hardware acceleration" code in their builds, until this code is
perfectioned.
