>From the beamer manual, in the section "Structuring a Frame", there is an example of vertically aligning columns. This is done by adding the option [t] to the \begin{columns} directive. By the way, I think the default behaviour is affected by the theme you choose but I'm not entirely sure whether this is true or how... In any case, I do not know how to get this option passed through from org. You can specify options (with BEAMER_opt property) for individual elements such as frames and individual columns but I haven't seen a directive that would allow one to specify an option for an implicitly generated LaTeX directive such as a columns environment. Maybe Nicolas can jump in here...? Secondly, I find that [t] doesn't always work as nicely as it should so I often end up putting \vspace*{} directives directly in the org and sometimes \vfill.
