EPS figures in OpenOffice Impress presentations look horrible

If you have Ghostscript and ImageMagick (or GraphicsMagick) installed, 
you can do something like this:

$ convert -resize 300x300 tiger.eps tiger.png

to get a rendered, antialiased image that you can include in your 
presentation.

You should adjust the dimensions of the output image to match your 
presentation screen so that Impress does not need to scale the image.

It's too bad that OOo can't make use of these tools directly.
