Guenter,

  I discovered yesterday that the conversion worked fine when I exported, or
if I view with pdflatex. Now I'm trying to get the logo image to display
properly. The document follows the instructions on page 68 (Section 8.2.5 of
the Beamer User Guide) so I have no idea why I see only a rectangle with
'institution-logo' extending past both sides rather than the logo itself.

  Any ideas? This is quite puzzling.

Rich

Actually there are at least 3 types of PDF (pdflatex, dvips, dvipdfm), so
maybe you need to define this for another PDF subtype?

My setting is

  EPS -> PDF (ps2pdf) epstopdf --outfile=$$o $$i
  
and it works (LyX 1.6.2 on Debian).

Paul,

  Nope.


I'm not sure it's officially preferred for beamer presentations, but one
out of one beamer users surveyed (me) prefers it.


  Actually, I think it is. Now I'm getting back to the rhythm I recall using
pdflatex to view/export previous presentations.

  I don't know what the logo issue is since that had not appeared before.

  The type 3 glyph error is also new, but not critical.

Paul,

  Ah, so. It turns out that I don't see the title and section headers
colored when I view the developing presenation with xdvik, but I do when I
export and compile it!

  I still have a problem with graphics formats, despite having ps2pdf
designated for eps->pdf conversions. If I try to view/export the document
via pdflatex it borks with the error message that it doesn't grok graphics
files with the .eps extension. If I export as plain latex, run latex a
couple of times on the .tex file, then dvips followed by ps2pdf, then I get
the colored areas.

  Still get the "Error: Bad bounding box in Type 3 glyph" from somewhere as
I page through the pdf file.
