Here are a few things come to my mind while working on KPresenter:

* Can we change menu 'Screenpresentation' to 'Slide Show' ? This makes more 
sense since we're quite agree on s/Page/Slide.

* The term 'Pen' and 'Brush' are just 'Line' and 'Fill' settings in some other 
applications. Can we use them as well ? IMHO pen and brush are just too 
programmer-minded.

* Why is the Outline tab named as 'Outline' ? I don't see any outline in 
there. I guess Agnubis does it right by naming it as just 'Title'.

* Presentation Structure Viewer: this is called Editor from Screenpresentation 
menu. I bet that it should be just viewer (user can't edit anything there). 
Possible idea for workaround: throw away the small preview are and make it as 
floating tool.

* Why do we need 'Help Lines to Front' ? IMHO just visible and invisible help 
lines should be adequate (same goes for grid points). OTOH do we also really 
need menu items regarding help lines/grid points to be in context-menu (right 
click) ?

* Selection tool is named as (see menu) Format -> Mouse. I guess simply 
'Select' is already good. I also hate the new icon, the old one which 
displays arrow (like a mouse cursor) is clearer than arrow surrounding by a 
frame.

* There are quite number of so-called drawing object (Line, Freehand, Bezier 
Curve, Rectangle, etc) in menu Insert. Wouldn't be better if we group it 
together in one item, say Insert -> Drawing object

* Toolbars are cluttered with unnecessary actions. I mean, yes it's useful but 
aren't we supposed to place only most-frequently used actions in toolbar ? 
Even more, context-menu can be better used for many editing actions.

* Can we assign a shortcut key to 'Star slideshow' action ? During 
presentation editing, this action is often used (at least, that's for me). F5 
key like in Powerpoint could be a good candidate.

Comments ? Flames ?
