It is extremely common for presentations to being with a slide which have some sort of title, taking up a significant part of the slide, and a second piece of text, which is larger than regular slide content, serving as the subtitle, or author or venue information etc. Impress is missing such a slide layout. Attaching an example, due to Mihai Vasiliu.

If we add this layout, we may want to qualify the word "Title" and call it "Presentation Title" instead - distinguishing it from the slide layouts where the "Title" is just the slide title.
See bug 164840 comment 1. The layout "Title slide" is in fact a "Title, Subtitle" layout.
(In reply to Regina Henschel from comment #3) > See bug 164840 comment 1. The layout "Title slide" is in fact a "Title, > Subtitle" layout. You're right, and I'll close this bug, and continue the discussion in 164839. Let me just say why I (and many/most users) miss this fact. It is because: * The layout name, read in context of other layouts like "Title, Content", does not suggest that there's a subtitle. * The actual layout functuionally disagrees with the "subtitle" area actually being a subtitle: The dimensions of the Title and Subtitle correspond to the title and content areas of a "Title, Content" slide. I (and many/most users) do not even conceive that anybody would mark this area as a subtitle.
