That was a good suggestion, as it helped me to find the problem. My
mistake was exporting to LaTeX
As PDF file
instead of
As PDF file (Beamer)
In principle it is clear when you do 'C-x C-e' that you should choose
the latter option if you are using Beamer. However, I didn't come
across any mention of export to Beamer being different from export to
non-beamer PDF in the documentation. So maybe it would be an idea to
add a section about exporting to the tutorial
http://orgmode.org/worg/exporters/beamer/tutorial.html
to help the easily-confused, like myself.
As a matter of interest, has the new exporter always behaved like that?
And what is the rationale behind the distinction?
