A Microsoft Excel format spreadsheet is embeded as an OLE object in an Impress
.sxi document.  The document displays inconsistently depending on the platform.

How to reproduce:
1. In Linux OpenOffice.org 1.1.5, create an .xls
2. Still in Linux OpenOffice.org 1.1.5, insert->object->ole with the .xls
3. Save as .sxi (attached)
4. Open the .sxi in Linux OpenOffice.org 2.0.4rc2: the spreadsheet is displayed
as an electrical socket icon (a sort of placeholder).
5. Still in the Linux OpenOffice.org 2.0.4rc2, double click the spreadsheet: it
opens up and displays correctly in Calc.
5. Open the .sxi in Windows OpenOffice.org 2.03: the spreadsheet is displayed
correctly.

The problem:
Solaris/Linux OpenOffice.org 2 should display the OLE the same as Windows.

Notes:
In Linux OpenOffice.org 2, the configuration setting to convert Excel to Calc on
load seems to have no effect.

The practical problem behind this issue is using a Solaris machine as an
automated .sxi to .odp document converter.  

FWIW, the issue was referred to me by someone at a major financial services
company with over 100,000 employees. Also, according to this person, OOo 1.1.5
Unix will read the document, but in my case, it won't.

Question:
Is there a workaround so that the automated document conversion can continue?
