Full screen Slide Show on multiple monitors

I have a problem when viewing a slide show on multiple monitors since I upgraded from OOImpress 2.0.4 to 2.3.1.

Unlike a large number of topics on forums I do not want to view the slide show on an external beamer for instance, but I have two identical monitors used in a large single desktop (TwinView mode), on the same desktop, on a single graphical card (2 DVI outputs).

When running the slide show this presentation is only shown an the right half of second monitor. The left half of this monitor is black, and the first monitor keep showing the desktop with the other windows. This happens unregardless of the position of impress (monitor 1 or monitor 2) when starting the slide show.

In the slide show settings the combo box to choose the presentation monitor for multiple monitors is empty and not selectable.
Using Xinerama instead of TwinView does not solve the problem, and I am using the latest Nvidia drivers 169.12.
Neither Acrobat reader not calc have problem to display on a single monitor when in fullscreen mode, on the current screen.

This is my linux distribution and architecture (OpenSuse 10.2):
Linux 2.6.18.8-0.9-default #1 SMP Sun Feb 10 22:48:05 UTC 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Thanks for your help.
