kpresenter runs just fine if I use KDE as my DE.  If I use GNOME, however, it
crashes starting up:

This is highly reproducible -- I've tried to run it on 4 different machines now
(variety of CPU, video chipsets, and color depths) and I've yet to find a
machine where kpresenter will run if GNOME is in use.  Until this is fixed, I'm
switching all my desktops to KDE....
