Beamer export of columns should use \columnwidth

Beamer export of columns should use \columnwidth

[Julien Cubizolles]

For the moment, the :BEAMER_COL: property of a heading is exported as a
\textwidth argument to the column environment of beamer like:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\begin{columns}
\begin{column}{0.5\textwidth}
\end{column}
\end{columns}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

That's fine for a standard beamer file but I'm also using the beamer
export backend to produce some TeX files using my personal class with
the beamerarticle package. My class uses a 2 column setup for wich the
\textwidth spans the two columns. The right length should be
\columnwidth, as in:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\begin{columns}
\begin{column}{0.5\columnwidth}
\end{column}
\end{columns}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I don't think there would be any inconvenients to changing \textwidth to
\columnwidth for regular beamer files (it's fine with my beamer files so
far).

I agree. Done in master. Thank you for suggesting it.

The latest org-plus-contrib (20141027) from org/melpa seems to have
reverted to using \textwidth instead of \columnwidth. Why is that ? The
master branch from git is ok though (meaning it uses \columnwidth).

org-plus-contrib is stable (maint) branch. The change was applied on
development (master) branch.

Ok, I thought I had seen it merged in org-plus-contrib but I must have
been mistaken.
