As I mentioned earlier I am running LO 4.0.0.3 - but this should not 
matter as the command to run LO has been the same for many a year.

The command in the applications launch menu to run Impress is 
'libreoffice4.0 --impress %U'  - and LO4.0 is installed in 
/opt/libreoffice4.0 (but your installation may be different).

The other thing: what occurs if you create a new user and run Impress?
