Ah so my guess was wrong. Anyhow I think that for a presentation the
usual semantic is not so useful.
In any case I want to point out that when the export of a subset of
slides will work for the Left Impress Pane too, there will not be
anymore the possibility to utilize the "empty selection" case to
export all slides because at least one slide will be always selected
in the Left Impress Pane (that is the one showed).
Obviously we can always select all slides.

Ah you are right! My fault!
