--- Comment #1 from Thomas Lendo <thomas.lendo at gmail.com> ---
I talked to Regina face to face to understand this bug report. :) There are
several bugs within this report which can be resolved with a single solution.

I could do the steps that Regina mentioned in 6.1, 6.0 and 5.4.
Note: Command 'Master Elements...' is available in 6.1.0.0.alpha0+ via Page
menu, but due to Draw menu changes for 6.1 it isn't there in older versions
(tested 6.0, 5.4, 5.1). It's available via Customize dialog in section "Modify"
but that only works in 6.0 and 5.4. I couldn't see the manually inserted
command in 5.1.

Bug 1:
'Master Elements...' is simulating the 'Insert Header/Footer' item of Impress.
I don't know if this is necessary for Draw anyway. As this isn't intended by
the ODF specification as Regina said, 'Master Elements...' is either a
suboptimal naming or completely false regarding ODF specification and should be
removed from Draw.

Bug 2:
After inserting all 3 master elements and giving them a border color or area
color to emphasize them visually, go to the normal view and you see that the
page number field/frame isn't visible. (I'll attach a screenshot.)
It's only visible after saving and reopening the file.

Bug 3:
After that all and going back to the 'Master Elements...' dialog, the
checkboxes aren't activated anymore although they exist in the opened file.


Proposed solution:
Get rid of the complete dialog from the UI and from the code to get conform
with the ODF spec.
Page number can be inserted over menu Insert > Field > Page number. Maybe this
needs a more prominent place in the menu or toolbar.
