[TriLUG] Start ooimpress presentation on startup?

[Aaron Joyner]

I would like to be able to launch ooimpress, and have it automatically 
"present" a presentation.  Specifically, I'd like the functionality of 
running `ooimpress /path/to/presentation.sxi` and pressing Control-F2 to 
start the presentation.  It seems like there ought to be a command line 
option to achieve this effect, but I'll be darned if I can find one.  I 
have yet to resort to digging through the code, or writing a helper app 
to send it xevents, I thought before going that far, I'd shoot a quick 
note here and ask if anyone has solved this problem before.  The 
one-line backstory, is that this is for an exhibit in a museum, which 
needs to start the presentation directly from the command line (on 
reboot).  This is used as a direct replacement for power point (where 
this is an easy thing), and the desire and motivation to use an open 
source replacement is high, it's just not proving out to be easy, 
unfortunately.

Thanks,
Aaron S. Joyner
