The new beamer exporter has suddenly gotten borked on my system and I can't restore it. I have class tomorrow morning. This is an emergency. OK, in desperation, I checked out my sandbox branch (based on master), cleaned all the elc files, and quit and relaunched Emacs. Now it's fine. I had been using C-c C-x ! to reload org after doing a make but this turned out to mess things up pretty badly. I could get reasonable behavior only by quitting emacs and restarting it. I don't know if that should be considered a bug or not. Perhaps I don't understand what C-c C-x ! is supposed to do? Tonight at least, it was totally unreliable. So, crisis averted, but it was quite scary to get essentially complete garbage from the beamer exporter... hjh

Tonight at least, it was totally unreliable. org-reload is there for convenience, quite often a proper emacs restart is indeed required to get a consistent Org instance. That said, I have noticed something odd about the new exporter and org-reload. I think with the new exporter after doing org-reload, org related config is not reloaded properly. This borks the Org instance. This is more visible when using the Beamer backend since it requires customisation of org-latex-classes by the user. One of these days, I'll try to come up with a proper recipe to reproduce this. Cheers, -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.

Config is not reloaded at all (and never has been), any configuration variables that are already existing are not touched when the file gets reloaded. This borks the Org instance.

Please do, this should not happen.
