 You don't appear to have broken the thread; at least, in gnus, this
 message is properly threaded with your earlier one... maybe it's a
 matter of using an intelligent mail reader! ;-)

I'm guessing that the mailing list software is smart enough to recognize that 
the subject matches an existing thread, and tweak the header IDs appropriately.

  Shall I file a bug report? There is a reproducer here:
 
  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/52631
 
  Can someone confirm? Bug or not?
 
 Works fine for me.  The first slide is not /blocked/; the second one
 /is/.  Have you looked at the latex produced by the exporter?
 
 What version of org are you using?

Water under the bridge -- I already figured out that the documentation on 
Beamer export assumes a more recent version of org than is packaged with Ubuntu 
Lucid.

I've been using blocks, quotes etc. successfully with a newer org for a good 2, 
2.5 months now.

 Still, though, if there is nothing wrong with Carsten's example presentation 
 and it renders incorrectly, then I suppose it's a bug.

Progress. Following instructions to prepare for a bug report, I tried a 
minimal-org set up and suddenly the blocks render as expected.

Then I realized... the older org version that I started with (the one bundled 
with Emacs) didn't include a beamer class for LaTeX export, so I copied a 
definition for it from somewhere online and put it in ~/.emacs.

Next test: Remove the customization of org-export-latex-classes and try 
again... and the blocks behave correctly.

So, no bug. Sorry for noise.

Hi James,

James Harkins wrote:
 Still having Beamer problems. C-c C-e p is making the PDF at the end,
 but it's ignoring structural tags except for lists.

 I've pasted a simple example under my name. In the resulting .tex
 file, the code for both frames is identical, except for sec labels.
 The second frame contains Beamer environment properties while the
 first frame does not, so it looks like the block environments are not
 doing anything.

 For that matter, I just checked the tex file generated by Carsten's
 demo presentation in the org manual, and there's no evidence of the
 blocks at all. The only TeX environments that appear with \begin are
 {document}, {frame} and {itemize} -- but Carsten's demo uses:

 :PROPERTIES:
 :BEAMER_env: block
 :BEAMER_envargs: C[t]
 :BEAMER_col: 0.5
 :END:

 ...

 :PROPERTIES:
 :BEAMER_col: 0.5
 :BEAMER_env: block
 :BEAMER_envargs: 2-
 :END:

 ...

 :PROPERTIES:
 :BEAMER_env: block
 :END:

 ... and a :B_note: tag, which claims it will be formatted as a beamer
 note but it isn't.

 For my own short file, I would have assumed that I did something
 wrong, but that's less plausible for example code from the manual. So
 I suppose it must be an installation or configuration problem.

 Ideas?

 Tonight's experimentation is driven by the simple use case I mentioned
 before -- centering a paragraph (and eventually putting some extra
 space around it, but I can handle that later). E.g.,

 - A bullet heading within the frame
   A free paragraph

 Centered text

 - Another bullet

 Am I on the right track by looking at blocks? Could somebody give me a
 quick example of how to do this, and I'll try to extrapolate to other
 uses?

For horizontal centering, a workaround (or simply a solution) can be something
like:

#+LaTeX: \begin{center}
#+ATTR_LaTeX: width=0.75\linewidth
[[~/Pictures/Dock.jpg]]
#+LaTeX: \end{center}

Best regards,
  Seb

Thanks. After reading the Beamer user's guide, this will get me pretty much 
where I need to go.
