Somebody just sent me a PPSX file and I ran into the same issue (using
Jaunty up-to-date as of today).

According to Wikipedia[1] PPSX is a "Microsoft Office 2007 XML Show"
document. Ubuntu recognizes it as a ZIP file. If I change the extension
to PPTX, it's associated with OpenOffice.org Presentation. If I open it,
I still have to select a filter however. Selecting the "Microsoft
Powerpoint 2007 XML" filter opens it successfully.

Proposal: associate PPSX with OpenOffice.org Presentation just like PPTX 
because OO.org can open the file type.
Caveat: I don't know anything about Microsoft Office so I might be wrong. But 
in that case this bug could be closed as WONTSOLVE.
