This guy is the essence of "gravitas". A terror in an Armani Suit with a russet potato head shining like the full moon on a clear night. Short and stocky, arrogant, ill tempered and sensitive to criticism. You are sitting in the front row for the shareholders annual meeting and Mr. Big Shot is on his way to make his speech with numerous Canon zoom and Konica lenses competing for a vantage shot. You see his fly noticeably open and the edge of his pinstripe shirt peeping a tad through the chink in the armor. The only way to point it out is to jump abruptly and get his attention. The attention could get you a raise or fired depending on his mood that day. What would you do? A true case of "The Emperor Has No Zippers". Is it your fiduciary duty to save the company head from loss of face and embrace martyrdom. Or is it poetic justice, a divine edict, a wink and nod from the almighty to the battered employee in you?

I posted this question over 35 mins back and it has not shown up on screen yet. Seems like I am a favorite with Yahoo Censors not Yahoo Answers. What a hoot.
Anyways when this question does show up I hope you all have fun with it. The CEO's fly ..... remember.

If I was on speaking terms with him, I would motion him over and whisper in his ear or I would pretend to be showing him something on paper and whisper in his ear. If not on speaking terms and I didn't really like him, I would leave IT alone.

Once the CEO has headed to the podium, it is probably too late. If you were able to catch him as he stood and could have whispered something to him, without others "gasping", it would have "saved face". Once he's on his way, your saying something could cause even more people to notice than would have noticed had you left "well enough" alone. I think perhaps the CEO would not appreciate the "spotlight" in this case. Not only must the CEO be considered, but you need to consider your job as well.
