I agree with that. But then again, why do Impress, Writer, Draw, ... open each
other at all? I mean when I want to open a file with Impress, I press File >
Open in Impress. I do not expect to get Draw then. I searched for a while in
Draw for the presentation mode to finally notice that I'm not in Impress
anymore. The applications are just too similar.
