Hi Ariel,
thanks a lot for your example. It has been really useful!
The only drawback is that this method works only if I select
the slide thumbnails in the Slide Sorter Center Pane
(that is through the "Slide Sorter" tab), but if I select them
in the Left Side Impress Pane the selection is empty.
In fact the "com.sun.star.presentation.SlidesView"  service is
supported by the "drawing::XDrawSubController" interface only
when the Slide Sorter Center Pane is visible.

Cheers,
    Marco
