Method 2: Use an outer theme that includes foot lines (or a presentation
theme that uses an outer them that includes footlines) and either
(2a) hack the outer theme file or
(2b) override it in the preamble with something like the above.
Note that screwing with the contents of the footline may require that you
also screw with the foreground/background colors (if any).
Thanks, Paul, for your help.
Your example has a side effect: the number of the frame is not shown.
Any solution for this?
I have meanwhile found a solution:
\setbeamertemplate{footline}[text
line]{\color{structure}\strut\insertsectionhead\hfill\insertpagenumber}
(An example is attached.)

Yes. I prefer \insertframenumber to \insertpagenumber so that when I put
multiple overlays on a frame (e.g., expose bullets one by one) the slide
number stays the same as each overlay emerges; but that's a matter of
taste.
Thanks for having mentioned that, as \insertframenumber is better in
the case you indicate.

I had the same complain. :-) Jindřich Nový replied that those packages work in F7 as well. The only exception is xdvi that requires some symbol from the new glibc shipped with F8. Thanks, Jose'. Within a few days, I will install F8. Paul

It is possible to install the texlive packages that are under review for Fedora inclusion in Fedora 7. The idea is to replace tetex by texlive and the packages are the work of the same package maintainer of tetex for Fedora. Those texlive packages will replace tetex for Fedora 9. I have used them previously in Fedora 7 (I am using now Fedora 8) and it works. Thanks, Jose´, but where can one get those packages?

From microtype.pdf: Note that font expansion and character protrusion will only work with pdfTEX, at least version 0.14f. Automatic font expansion requires version 1.20 or newer. Disabling ligatures requires pdfTEX 1.30, letterspacing and the adjustment of interword spacing and of kerning requires version 1.40. So with pdfTeX 1.21, you cannot use the spacing and kerning options. Thanks, Jürgen. I am using Fedora 7 with the most recent updates, but pdfeTeX is not yet the new one.
