The Load Master Slide dialog

When a template is selected in the Load Master Slide dialog, the Preview area contains only one preview of the first slide.

This can be problematic if someone has different slide templates that have the same first slides.

In the bottom half of the dialog there is space to show previews of all master slides, instead of the stored preview.

1. Open a new file in Impress
2. Go to Slide - Change Slide Master
3. Press the Load... button
4. Select Presentation category in the top left pane
5. Select Candy template in the top right pane
-> only the first slides preview is shown in the bottom part of the dialog, but the Candy template has 11 master slides

Showing them all in the Preview (in a horizontally scrollable) box could be a way to make things more clear here.
