Evince refuses to open the attached sample document on 11.10, claiming
that it's an unsupported format.

Title:
  Display corruption displaying ODP documents

Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evince

  Evince can open ODP documents, but they do not display properly. The
  content of the presentation is garbled and mixed with content from
  other windows. I'll attach a sample presentation produced with
  LibreOffice in 11.04 that displays this behavior. I'll also attach a
  screenshot of evince displaying this presentation. The 'content from
  other windows' in this screenshow happens to be from Thunderbird; I've
  also seen desktop icons, the desktop background, and content from web
  browsers mixed into the evince display. This only seems to happen on
  odp files; pdfs display fine in evince. This is 100% reproducible on
  my system, and it seems to happen with all presentations.

  Step to reproduce:
  1) Open any .odp presentation in evince

  I'm running unity (3D) on an NVidia 8600M GT with the nvidia-current
  270.41.03-0ubuntu1 drivers. I haven't tried on other hardware or with
  a different (unity 2D) interface. unity version is 3.8.8-0ubuntu2. The
  problem exists in Natty beta 1.
