For what it's worth on the topic of beamer outlines, I recently created a
presentation and wanted the Outline to re-appear before every section.
Having this at the top of the document (right after all the #+options stuff)
worked great:

-----
\AtBeginSection[]{
\begin{frame}<beamer>
\frametitle{Outline}
\tableofcontents[currentsection]
\end{frame}}
-----

I think it's pretty cool, especially if there are many frames between parts.
Perhaps this can be useful to someone looking into various methods for using
outlines in Beamer? Toggle #+options: toc:t and toc:nil to either have the
full outline appear at the beginning or only have the outline with the
highlighted upcoming section visible.
