In fact, the maintainer has included some environment variables in the debianization to make that possible. So, as soon as Lenny becomes stable, you can be sure that it will be available in debian-backports and, thus, you can use it in lenny, even if it's not considered a Debian stable application. Also, I must confess I have compiled it and tested and: 1) there are not many noticeable differences from 2.4 (excepting the good bunch of extensions that 3.0 can install, as the one to edit pdf files) 2) Using it in a computer with an Ati Radeon card, it made segfaults the X server everytime I used Impress. So, I rejected the idea of using it in my schools in this state. I'm waiting for version 3.1 ;) Regards. José L.
