"Solved" or better: explained: I did it all on my netbook, with 2 GB of RAM, and yet, it seems insufficient to display images added. They are simply scrapped, and they are scrapped when converting into PDF. The same file shows on another system without fail as complete slide. I tried starting Libreoffice after a fresh reboot with nothing else active. So I guess that the problem is not memory but display size. I tried another display, by the way, with the same result. What is still bad, is that it drops the images silently in both cases (Slide Show and PDF-conversion). What I'd expect Libreoffice to do, is to inform me should anything go wrong.
