Did you try Till Tantau's beamerexmples from the beamer/examples/ folder 
in both distributions, TeXLive and gwTeX? May be you did so only in gwTeX 
and did not have yet the chance to get your attention to some details.

I would appreciate if you would let me know if these examples get properly 
(pdf)latexed. For ex., pay attention to text that gets covered, but is 
not supposed to be so, e.g., in beamerexample5.pdf, on p. 24, the occurrence 
of the word "hold" after the red "not". Since it is just one word, one 
may miss it. I have beamer files where entire paragraphs stay uncovered.

The beamer/examples are located in the following directories::

/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.texlive/doc/latex/beamer/examples/

and

/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-dist/doc/latex/beamer/examples/

In order to run the examples, you would need to copy them in your home
directory.
