It seems so. But I have now changed the settings in the test document 
so, that the slideshow does not run in full screen mode but in window 
mode. With that change,
    xPresentation->start();
really starts the slideshow.

It is tricky. xPresentation->end(); will correctly finish the slideshow. 
But using that way does not trigger the registerUserPaintPolygons() 
method that was reason for the bug.
But I can use the method typeKey() that is already defined in 
uiimpress.cxx to simulate a key press. And that works then.

Kind regards,
Regina
