Workaround to include inkscape vector graphics into libre office impress

Inkscape vector graphics (.svg) appear a little bit blurry when used in libre office impress (Version: LibreOffice 3.5.7.2, Build ID: 350m1(Build:2)), especially when text is visible on the graphics. 

I think the easiest workaround is to export the inkscape graphic as a .png bitmap

File -> Export Bitmap

I got good results with the default settings (90 dpi).

The generated png can then be included into Impress.
