As you haven't explained why you want this, it's difficult to understand
the actual use case. So, guessing at your intent, I wonder whether you
have thought about making use of section headings as well as frame
headings to accomplish what you want?
Assuming you are using org v8.x and not something older, if you set
option H:2, second level headings define frames and top level headings
define sections. You can then have section headings appear as a
separate slide using code such as this:
#+begin_src org
,#+latex_header: \AtBeginSection[]{\begin{frame}<beamer>\frametitle{Topic}\tableofcontents[currentsection]\end{frame}}
#+end_src
In this case, any time a section heading is encountered (i.e. top level
org heading), you'll get a slide with a table of contents with that
heading emphasised. You can obviously do something different which more
closely matches what you want.
If you don't want individual frames to have headings, simply don't put
any text in the headline for that frame.
This way, you do not need to manipulate how beamer displays frames. An
example set of slides with two sections and two out of four slides
having no headline would look like this:
#+begin_src org
,#+options: H:2
,#+latex_header: \AtBeginSection[]{\begin{frame}<beamer>\frametitle{Topic}\tableofcontents[currentsection]\end{frame}}
,* Introduction
,** First slide
some text on the first slide
,**
some text on the second slide which has no heading
,* Results
,**
some third slide text, also on a slide with no heading
,** conclusions
This was a great talk.
#+end_src
HTH,
eric
