[XeTeX] beamer problems with xetex

[Alan Munn]

Hi, I'm trying to use beamer and xelatex, but am running into 
problems with certain themes.  The following minimal document 
produces two small bullets on the title slide instead of the title. 
The following themes based  produce the problem: Warsaw, PaloAlto, 
Madrid, JuanLesPins, Ilmenau, Frankfurt, Darmstadt, Copenhagen, 
CambridgeUS, AnnArbor (and themes derived from them, including mine). 
Since the problem doesn't arise with pdflatex, I'm posting this to 
the xelatex mailing list.  Is anyone here using beamer and xelatex 
regularly with success, or should I just stick with regular pdflatex 
for beamer presentations?

Alan

I'm running TeX Live 2007 on a Mac.

The log shows:

This is XeTeXk, Version 3.141592-2.2-0.996 (Web2C 7.5.6)

Document Class: beamer 2005/10/23 cvs version 3.06 A class for typesetting pres
entations (rcs-revision 1.67)


The document also produces some warnings:

Package hyperref Warning: Option `pdfpagelabels' is turned off
(hyperref)                because \thepage is undefined.

Hyperref stopped early

Package hyperref Warning: Option `pdfauthor' has already been used,
(hyperref)                setting the option has no effect on input line 6.

\listfiles produces the following:
