There is no user interface that would provide what you need. As far as I know the slide layout was created in OpenOffice/LibreOffice. I think it should be possible to create new slide layouts there. > A related question is, what is the intended functionality of the > master slides?

Yes the master slide contains content that should be visible on multiple slides. I think a master slide can also define which layout a slide should use. > Finally, in the bottom left plus sign I can apparently add a layer. > But I don't see anything happening when I do that. What should I > expect to see? You need to switch the view to Minimal View or Detailed View to see the layers. In the thumbnail views the layers are not visible. I hope I could have helped you a bit.
