What about "Available master pages from other templates" or 
"Available from other templates"

Might well happen ;)

Indeed.

Mwah... not convinced yet.

Ah, that is nice. (Still some glitches there..)

> Another option would be to move the "Used in this presentation" panel to the

It's starting to get confusing for me..

> Thoughts?

The ideas all end in removing to choose from "Available master pages from other
templates", correct?
Now we do have the dialog via "Slide > Slide master design". That has been
subject of discussion before. Not the last because of a nice mixture of
related/(meaning) similar terms.
