Ah, okay.  That makes sense and BEAMER_envargs does indeed work.  Thanks!

I guess it was me reading too much into what you say about the extra
property.  The problem is that it mentions frames so I thought it
could be used to modify frame behaviour.  However, anything placed in
BEAMER_extra doesn't actually end up right after the \begin{frame} but
instead is placed after the \frametitle directive.  I have no problem
with this but it is slightly inconsistent with the wording for
BEAMER_extra in that the extra text does not get placed immediately
after the environment start.

Thanks again,
