Hi Eric,

The examples do indeed work out of the box. My problem was that I was am
using Emacs 23.1.1, which comes with orgmode 6.21b. I then set up
org-export-latex-classes by hand for 'beamer' and got things sort of
working apart from blocks and two-column. I subsequently installed
orgmode 7.3, but still retained my customisations, and was thus still
unable to get blocks and two-column. Removing the customisation fixed
things.

Perhaps a remark about how to set org-export-latex-classes could be
added to the documentation in the wiki, particularly since the current
Debian stable comes with emacs 22.2, which presumably contains a yet older
version of orgmode.

Cheers

Loris
