1) lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 11.04
Release: 11.04

2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-impress
libreoffice-impress:
  Installed: 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5
  Candidate: 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5
  Version table:
 *** 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5 0

3) What is expected to happen in LibreOffice Impress via the Terminal:

cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/159325/+attachment/226965/+files/Presentation%2003.ppt && loimpress -nologo Presentation\ 03.ppt

the slides with gradient into transparency looks as it does in PowerPoint 2003 ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/159325/+attachment/2144737/+files/Screenshot.png ).

4) What happens instead is it looks like two rectangles, one stacked onto the other. The top rectangle has a vertical color gradient, dark to light going top to bottom. The bottom rectangle is just one solid color. The .ppt was created in PowerPoint XP.

Christopher, is this bug still valid / reproducible with the latest LO release from http://www.libreoffice.org/download/ ?

Could you please attach the document in question? That would help speed up the process of confirming and successively fixing this bug a lot. Thanks :)
