Hi :)
Renaming the file is not even a hack. A hack implies some sort of sophisticated
programming but renaming a file is far more trivial than that. The pps format
is designed to do one job but the ppt format is designed to do another.
When you want to show the slide-show do you want the audience to first see it
displayed in design view and then see you spending a bit of time clicking on
things to get the slide-show to start?
Pps is for audiences to watch. It is NOT for editing
Something similar occurs with html which can be written as a text-file (".txt")
but when "Save As ..." .html the new file would be displayed by the
web-browser. It is still identical to the ".txt" file. Mostly changing formats
does significantly alter the contents of the file but ppt is identical to pps
but just serves a different function.
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Double clicking a PPS opens the file in slideshow as expected.
The problem is that starting Impress and then opening a PPS file should open
it in Edit mode (as PowerPoint does).
Instead it opens it in slideshow mode and closes Impress on ESC. This is
indeed a bug which makes it impossible to edit a PPS file (without using the
rename hack which is not a solution ;) )
