Thanks.
I can get this to work by inserting an empty non-column block with
heading ignored between the two pairs of blocks, as in the attached:

Thanks for the suggestion.
I tried making the columns bigger BEAMER_col: 0.8 or whatever
Didn't work.
can you post a minimal example. I'm happy to play with it to see.

This is what the :B_columns: tag is for. (And, finally *I* can help someone

In the example, I'm cutting out some spaces before tags.

In the exported LaTeX code, you'll get two \begin{columns} ... \end{columns}
pairs.

I don't think you need to do anything complicated.
I have found that individual columns will go to the next row of
columns if the running total of the widths is greater than the page
width (\textwidth). So basically if the first two columns take up most
of the width, the next column you start will go below. Try it and
see. It works for me.

Hi,
Thanks for the suggestion.

Didn't work.
I tried making the image bigger (but maybe org doesn't see that)
I don't have any other ideas on how to do this. Maybe because I have no
text in the slide?
