Yes, makes sense. Users likely expect watermark as a page background - and
that's how it was done before this function, as an image as page background.
But another tab in the page style dialog makes also sense. Unlike Calc and Draw
we do not have a page style in Impress on the other hand.

I'm against abusing the sidebar for seldom used functions and wouldn't have
integrated the page settings there. Since it's done we could add the watermark
too.

Okay

If you open the dialog again you can modify the text. Not going over Insert but
Page Style makes it even more clear.

(The whole function would have been better realized as an extension, IMHO.)
