Yes, but that's the 'Axial' type, not too hard and doable as you 
describe. To make it clear, here is how to find all six types:

- start impress
- press 'Area' button in the 'Line and Filling' Toolbar (the can in the 
upper toolbar)
- You get the area dialog
- There, select the tab 'Gradients'
- Play with Type, you have six kinds of gradients
- Also play with the other values, lots of things to do here...

The types 'Linear' and 'Axial' are simple.
The type 'Radial' is simple.
The type 'Ellipsoid is *not* simple, put 50% in CenterY and CenterY to 
see that is has no single *center*.
The types 'Square' and 'Rectangular' have similar problems, plus that 
they are based on rectangles, not available in SVG

- close the dialog
- create a rectangle, keep it selected
- open the dialog again
- in the 'Area' tab, select 'Gradient' in the Fill DropDown
- Choose any gradient
- At 'Increments' at the right, switch off 'Automatic' and choose a 
small value (e.g. three)

->No way to do that with SVG.

Hope this gets clearer now. If you find ways to map these to SVG stuff, 
tell me, I will be happy.

BTW: Didi you commit some tasks in bugzilla for SVG import recently? If 
yes, thanks for that, I will look asap ;-)

Sincerely,
     Armin
