The laptop display would show the current slide with speaker notes and a running clock, whereas the laptop's VGA/DVI output which drives the projector only shows the slides.

About half the presenters used keynote, the other's seemed to be using s5. I used s5, because it is so easy to create slides with restructured text and use the rst2s5.py tool. rST is very easy to use and edit. S5 is a little too simplistic and more powerpointy than keynoty (ie requires titles on all slides). Also it doesn't scale images, so that is problematic when dealing with pictures and different projector resolutions. I've seen Jeff Waugh present using clutter and the slides were wonderful. Perhaps an rst2clutter tool is needed. I need to check out clutter more seriously, if only I had more time.... Just got back from pycon.

KDE/Qt code tends to be reasonably easy to hack on, particularly compared to OpenOffice. Perhaps KPresenter could form a nice base to start the project?

This produces the best result I ever saw, in a PDF file that can be rendered on every OS. Of course it requires a little time to learn it, but isn't it tottaly worth it ? :) And what about LaTeX / Beamer ?
