I too am interested in this problem. We have started here at our site to put
together some interactive slide-show control programs. They are written in
Tk/Tcl, and give X-based control over a slide-show. These can either be
timed, so that every so often a new "slide" is displayed ( This slide can
be any URL that XMosaic can handle), and also allows for multiple items to be
forked.
Also, it can be used as a slide player, with Play/Pause, Stop, Rewind and
Forward buttons. Future additions will include sequencing to sounds and
movies.

This is still very beta, but any interest should be directed to
jcasey@maths.tcd.ie OR creilly@maths.tcd.ie (authors)

Any discussion on features that could/should be incorporated would be
welcome.
