I downloaded the OOo 2.0 Beta version and found out that the layer support has
disappeared. Since I am heavily depending on layers, I would like to find out
more about it. And is there any chance to add layer support, at least
programmatically? Since Impress is derivied from Draw, I hope that would be
feasible to do.

Here some reasons why layers are important for me:
-I am using background pictures which I place on a separate layer that is
locked. This way when I give the presentations for editing, people can change
the text, but they cannot move the pictures by mistake.
-I am having a separate layer with guidelines for the title safe area of the
screen. This layer I switch off for projection or when exporting, but it gives
me at design time a good idea for consistent borders. Since in V 2.0 even the
Guidelines are gone, I am heavily depending on that layer.

I can see the layers also useful for multilingual presentations or for slight
variations of a talk that can be switched on and off. Keeping layers in Impress
would be a very beneficial feature that makes the program so much more useful
than the competition, especially for professional users.
