Controlling exported Beamer quote indentation / width

Controlling exported Beamer quote indentation / width

Greetings.

Currently in my Beamer slides quotes in second-level lists get cropped
outside the view window. Attached is a demo of this. How do I control
the indentation and/or the width of the quote?

As an interesting side effect, the attached file takes ages (like 30
seconds of processor time) to be exported and opened as a PDF, while
much larger files get processed in just a few seconds. No idea why this
is the case.

* This is what I am talking about
  - top level list
    - second level list
      #+BEGIN_QUOTE
      The indentation of this quote is already such that any longer
      text will be cut outside the screen. How do I control this?

This is really a LaTeX question.  Quote environments are not really
designed to be within lists.  Either put it at a top level heading
(within the frame, of course) or embed it within a minipage of an
appropriate width.

works fine for me.  maybe export to beamer and then run pdflatex on the
result to see with step is to blame?
