[O] Property inheritance in beamer export [7.4]

[Chris Kauffman]

I use org for constructing simple slide presentations quite a
bit.  I'd like to be able to set a global property which shrinks
all text to fit in the allotted space; this is great for source
examples. After some experimentation I put

#+PROPERTY: BEAMER_envargs [shrink]

in the preamble and evaluated

(set-variable (quote org-use-property-inheritance) t nil)

According to my understanding of the documentation, this should
make very outline entry inherit the property BEAMER_envargs,
regardless of whether it has a properties list itself.  After
reloading the file, internally this seems to work fine: I move to
any heading and eval the following lisp

(org-entry-get (point) "BEAMER_envargs" 1)

which gives the result "[shrink]".

However, on exporting the org file to pdf, the shrinking does not
seem to happen. The source code runs off the page. Is property
inheritance not respected during export?

Cheers,
Chris
