Wrt your reply in pvt to my other question, sorry if I wasn't clear.
Your suggestion of using \includegraphics straight into the heading
works just fine, my issue is that I was trying to do it the org way
and use a link (as in C-u C-c C-l) which would have then requried a
#+ATTR_LaTeX header to pass in the width parameter.
I did some more work last night and came across another issues:
- #BEGIN_VERBATIM won't work because to use the \begin{verbatim}
environment the \being{frame} requires [fragile]
Also, given a variable like org-export-latex-image-default-option, is
there any way to override it per file or per document class?
Last thing, if you're gonna use latex commands requiring paths to
files, how do you insert the path? using C-u C-l isn't really an
option as that will add a link and not just the path to the file so
then you have to delete the [[ ]].
thanks again for all the help

Yes - you should read sec. 16.3 (on templates) of the Beamer User Guide.
You can redefine the title page template and format the title page any
way you wish (within limits of course: it all has to fit on one slide).
For example, try adding this to the preamble (note that I made the image
bigger, but
if it doesn't fit, you can use the same method to make it smaller):
,
| \titlegraphic{\begin{center}\includegraphics[width=5cm]{foo.png}\end{center}}
|
| \title{Example presentation}
| \author{Nick Dokos \\
$$\href{mailto:nicholas.do...@hp.com}{nicholas.dokos@hp.com}$$}
| \date{04 July 2009}
|
| \setbeamertemplate{title page}{
| \centering{
|
\inserttitle\inserttitle\inserttitle\inserttitle\inserttitle\inserttitle\inserttitle\inserttitle
\\
| \insertauthor \\
| \insertdate \\
| \inserttitlegraphic}}
`
You might also try asking questions about beamer on comp.text.tex (after
all, this has nothing to do with org-mode). I don't know if Till Tantau
hangs out there any longer, but you are still much more likely to get
answers to such questions there.

Nick

I'm afraid I don't quite understand your description. Can you provide a bit
more detail about what you are trying to do and how you are going about it?
Here's how I interpreted your description of adding an image to a frame's title
(see the Why headline below - note that I use a slightly different setup for
beamer
as described in http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/15126).

I can pass optional parameters just fine as shown above. But I'm not
sure whether this is really what you want.

Here's how I use prosper, follow the examples below. After exporting
to tex, you must use the latex command (not pdflatex), followed by dvipdf.
Enjoy!
