I'm sorry to say, the code to create the compressed .gifs is patented and we
had to disable it.  I wasn't actually aware that Impress has the option to
create GIFs for export, although I won't have time to look at disabling it
for a while.

I don't know what version of OOo you're using, but on 1.1rc I get the option to
export the graphics as JPG, which should be better quality and should
actually work.
