There is an option for creating jpg's when you export, and I select it. But that seems to only pertain to the slides themselves. The buttons for moving forward and back through the slideshow are still exported as .gifs. I'm running OOo 1.0.3 - if there is an apt source for a newer rev in the testing distribution, let me know!!! So, they are compressed gifs, and there must be some library that all these different apps (the viewers, galeon, gimp) depend on and it got upgraded and . . . . OK - I get it now.
