Description: Handout view in Impress is a special view for which user can't set background color (check context menu -> Slide Properties: area tab is missing), so would be good to hide the background related items on sidebar when in handout view. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Impress 2. Switch handout view 3. Check sidebar's master slide tab Actual Results: On sidebar user can set background color, but it has no effect. Expected Results: Since in handout view you can't set background color either from the context menu, the right behaviour would be not to show this option on the sidebar.

Let's turn this into an easy hack. The code is here: sd/source/ui/sidebar/SlideBackground.cxx SlideBackground::HandleContextChange() method might be a good starting point.
