I'll see if I can reproduce the problem with a Venue Server running on FC2 
some time today.

One possible workaround in the mean time is to put the PowerPoint slides on 
a webserver, then paste the URLs in the Shared Presentation control.

Known problems with the client-side Shared Presentation on FC2:
1. the master isn't able to turn pages in OpenOffice slide-show mode
   (press Esc and run OO in non-slideshow mode)
2.  may need to run "agpm.py --post-install" after updating from 
AccessGrid-2.3-3.i386.rpm
   (this only happens with an update, but not with an erase followed by an 
install)



Cheers,
Doug
