Thanks! This works very well. :)

Again this works beautifully!

Again, works just right!

This however didn't work for me. Since the beamer export is not in the
dispatcher yet, I tried the following:
* Lifetime acceptance WG update
:PROPERTIES:
:LaTeX_CLASS: beamer
:LaTeX_CLASS_OPTIONS: [presentation,smaller]
:EXPORT_FILE_NAME: WG_update.pdf
:EXPORT_AUTHOR: Suvayu Ali
:EXPORT_DATE: 05 June, 2012
:EXPORT_OPTIONS: H:1 num:nil toc:nil ^:{}
:END:
** Frame title 1
M-: (org-e-beamer-export-to-pdf t)
The exported latex source however has the following:
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
instead of
\documentclass[smaller,presentation]{beamer}
Everything else in the exported tex file seemed correct though. However
I will have to admit I did not do this in a minimal Emacs instance. If
you can't reproduce the issue, I'll try to work up an ECM in a minimal
Emacs instance.
I would also like to work on some user documentation for the beamer
backend (when I do find some free time :-p). I see that org-e-beamer.el
is very well commented so I will start there, but do you have any other
pointers that might help me clearly document the supported features?
I was thinking of starting as a Worg page and then moving to the texinfo
docs once org-export moves from contrib to core. Do you, or anyone else
for that matter, have any thoughts on this? What would an appropriate
location for such a page?

I am doing this out of selfish reasons. ;) After all, a better beamer
export makes my life easier. :)
