I also hate .pps files opening automatically in presentation mode. Mainly because of those "elaborated" presentations coming via e-mail, with the letters falling down from the top of the page - one at a time - to form frases (argh!) The solution below worked fine for me. Try it.
The command ooimpress has the -n option: # ooimpress -n filename which is intended to create/edit a new file, using filename as a template. To all intents and purposes, it is the same of opening filename in edition mode. So, just create a shell script named ooimpress-edit (or whatever) containing: #!/bin/bash ooimpress -n $1 exit As root, save this file to /usr/local/bin (which should be in your $PATH). Don't forget to make it executable! (I mention it because I always do...) Then edit the "file associations" (mime types) and include ooimpress-edit as the first option to open .pps files. Of course, do the same in your e-mail client (in Thunderbird: Preferences->Attachments->View & Edit Actions...).
