Hi Thomas,

I created a new page for this presentation widget, I put all the links I  
found over there:
http://wiki.tuxisalive.com/index.php/Presenter

With the couple of presentation applications that I found, I think we can  
already do a lot with fake keys and mouse events. Keyjnote looks good and  
simple, it has some nice looking features that would be very good to use  
with tux. It uses pdf or bitmaps so there shouldn't be any problem to view  
any presentation once converted.
For impress, that's not a good idea anyway to rely on impress itself in  
beamer mode, you can use indeview if you want to keep your file in the  
original ODF.

"Xtest" is the extension API to use for sending fake X events but I don't  
know what's the best way to use it in python.
I added the links in the wiki, basically I found one guy using a command  
line wrapper for Xtest (xte), the Python X Library module, a small C  
extension module wrapping the necessary part of Xtest and used in python,  
or some more complex stuff used with SWIG.

That's where I am. If the Python X Library module is part of python by  
default and is usable, that's probably the way to go, otherwise a small C  
extension module makes sense so we don't have other dependencies. What do  
you think?
