The need to Name, or to provide a Description (Title--for Alternative text--and
a Description) is a requirement not just for Images, but for all objects. It is
a UI issue as the Name/Title controls their behavior on Navigator.

And from a UX perspective the time to set an attribute is while the object is
being created or placed. Frankly that is most efficient from the context menu.
Removing them was fine--having added ability to customize context menus (as
we've been doing for toolbars forever) allows us to pick and choose reasonable
defaults, and then for users to adjust as they prefer.

I do agree that adding the attributes to the properties dialog for each object
would be helpful. In addition to the Name field that is is there already.

Yes, behavior of the Name dialog and Description dialogs launched from
menus--or from context menus--needs to be handled in a more consistent
interface across modules.
