In impress, in order to add an effect, you click on a add effect button which
opens up a dialog where you select the effect you want to add. This seems to be
a very clumsy way of going about this when the contents of this dialog could
easily be integrated into the sidebar with a drop down list for effect category
and (ideally) a listbox for the effects list.

Another alternative is to have a single drop down list or listbox listing the
most important entries from each category that a user can choose from. When a
user doesnt find the effect they want to use, they will click on a 'More...'
button at the bottom of the list which would open up the effects dialog and
then a user can choose an entry from the list. Once chosen, that entry will now
be shown in the condensed list for easy access to the next time the user wants
to use it.
