Bug or not?
In the *new* beamer exporter, if I have a top level heading with a
TODO keyword, LaTeX chokes on the exported .tex file.
E.g.,
~~
* TODO Quiz review
-->
\section{\textbf{\textsf{\textsc{TODO}}} Quiz review}
byte-code: PDF file ./slides.pdf wasn't produced: [undefined control
sequence] Runaway argument
~~
My export options have H:2, so a top level heading as above becomes a
section. Second-level headings become frames, and there is no export
error with a TODO keyword on that level or below.
Use case: I'd like to track the status of a section at the top level,
so I can open the file (with all top-level headings folded) and see
instantly what needs attention, e.g.
TODO = nothing written yet for this section
INPROG = started, but not finished
DONE = (obvious)
org-version:
Org-mode version 7.9.3e (7.9.3e-1141-gc561d1 @

LaTeX:
pdfTeX 3.1415926-1.40.10-2.2 (TeX Live 2009/Debian)
kpathsea version 5.0.0

Compiled with libpng 1.2.46; using libpng 1.2.46

Hope it's an easy fix...

It should be fixed in master. Could you confirm it?
Thanks for reporting the error.

Yes, fixed, thank you!
BTW, now that I'm actually using the new exporter, (despite my
complaints at first) I find it an improvement over the old beamer
exporter. The org representation of the LaTeX structure seems cleaner
and more consistent. While I would have liked to use my old
presentations without much editing, it's well worth the effort.
A concrete example: Often, I want to have a column of bullet list on
the left and an image on the right. In the old exporter, the columns
had to be marked by headlines, which produced a bullet point. So then,
I had to display silly things like:
> Screenshot ( ">" represents the bullet)
Image below
In the new exporter, a column is still a headline, but that turns into
a block and a headline is hidden. So this:
*** Right column (screenshot) :BMCOL:
:PROPERTIES:...
[[./img/whatever.png]]
Displays perfectly cleanly, no extra junk in the PDF. (And the image
even inherits the column width, which the old exporter did not do
nicely IIRC.)
TL;DR -- I take back most of what I said before :)
