I haven't tried 3.4, but the EPS images stopped working in 3.3 and SVG
images have never worked.  After dicussing the problem, I am not sure
how the EPS images ever worked, perhaps they had embedding that was
stripped somehow.  Of course, using the embedded raster image
completely defeats the purpose of using vector artwork in the first
place.

Most of the programs I use for vector artwork can produce EPS or SVG
files just fine, but being able to properly display some sort of
vector artwork in impress seems critical to me.  Differences in
projector resolution can seriously degrade the appearance of raster
artwork.

Hi :)
Have bug-reports been posted?  I think the issues are quite important to get 
fixed.

It's better to avoid the 3.4.0 at the moment unless you like bug-testing.
Regards from
Tom :)
