Well, it's a bit confusing. :/ The bug I initially cited is a prove to 
how much GOOD is this mimic; The Power Point support is to improved that 
background images are not stored in the ODP file, but in the PPT they was!

Yeah, these commentaries make things a lot clearer than before! 
Specially about Graphic Styles!
I'm learning a lot Impress. But for now I think it's needing a new 
identify. Or even to find a own identify for the first time. All the 
support for Microsoft features seemly leave no space to Impress create 
and improve its own functionalities. :/

Good night,
