The workaround is to rename the extension of your file to *.ppt and make
it writable if it is currently on a read only mount/share.

The automatic slideshow execution of PPS files was a long time request
for many MSOffice users who switched to OOo and then found that their
slideshow presentations didn't start up automatically in slideshow mode.
The PPS extension is just that - a slideshow. The PPT extension is the
Powerpoint "editable" file. I doubt that this recently integrated
feature in LibO is going to be withdrawn any time soon.
