I don't think that a pps is any different from a ppt file. It's in how
the program handles it. I took a ppt and renamed it to pps and it shows
in the same way that a file saved as pps does. OOo just needs the option
to automatically run a slide show when loading.

In PowerPoint, in addition to the traditional .ppt format, you could
select a couple other options for saving presentations. One of these
included saving a "viewer" with the file, so you did not have to have
PowerPoint to view the presentation iirc.
There was also an option to save the file as a PowerPoint slideshow
(.pps extension I believe). If you did that and opened the file on a
computer with PowerPoint installed, it would launch the file directly
into the "slideshow " mode instead of "design" mode. Some consider
this to be a much more professional and cleaner way to do the
presentation - your audience is not interested in seeing the design
interface of PowerPoint (or in our case, Impress).

Is there a way to save or otherwise configure an Impress file so

The intended use is that the user wants to e-mail the presentation
to someone, and when that person opens it, would like for it to be
in a nice "clean" view rather than the working view.
Not certain what you really mean but there is a nice program that will
wrap a presentation for display with no OOo needed. Please see
http://www.indeview.org/ and evaluate it.
