You can warp this code in #+begin_latex ... #+end_latex

Although you could always add
\beamerdefaultoverlayspecification{<+->}
to the preamble.

This seems like a very common thing to want to do, but am I right in
thinking that it's also very hard to get right because the frame
environment is not really a sectioning environment?
As I understand things, the way we export to latex is to insert
sectioning commands, and drop translated content in between.
However, this doesn't seem like the right model for Beamer.
Consider a crude talk outline like this:
* Here's a simple point
Some material here
* Here's a complex point
** First component point
Explanation
** Second component point
More explanation....
The "right" way to translate this is something like
\section{Here's a simple point}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Here's a simple point}
...
\end{frame}
\section{Here's a complex point}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{First component point}
....
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Second component point}
....
\end{frame}
------------------------------------------
I.e., there's some rule like "If a header has text under it, then treat
it as a frame, otherwise, just treat it as a section header."
You see this above, where the two top-level headers are treated differently.
I can't think of any obvious way to translate org to beamer that doesn't
require choosing a /specific/ level of the outline as "the level that
corresponds to a frame," and doing that seems to seriously compromise
the outlining flexibility of org-mode.
Am I missing something here? Is there some better way to figure out how
to introduce frames, instead of treating them as sectioning headers?
thanks,
R

Here's another challenge --- is there a good way to handle this in the
exporter?
If you use VERBATIM in a beamer frame, then you need to add the optional
argument "fragile" to the environment, like this:
\begin{frame}[fragile]
instead of just
\begin{frame}
I'd be surprised if there was a good method for this, but thought I'd ask...
best,

Have you tried adding it unconditionally in the org-export-latex-classes
alist? I don't think it hurts to have it on by default (it costs a bit
of performance maybe, but it should not be noticeable.) OTOH, verbatim
is a can of worms: it should be avoided if at all possible. It cannot be
used in moving arguments (at all: see
http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=verbwithin
for details.) - and what beamer does with it is a mystery to me - hence
the "avoid at all costs" statement.
HTH,
Nick

I don't think the "avoid at all costs" is tenable when using beamer,
because of the need to insert code.
I have used alltt as well as verbatim, but it seems just as fragile.
I hope to provide a proposed beamer template sometime soon.
best,
Robert
