Hmm, I am not sure, because \alert is of course not defined in normal  
LaTeX export.  And maybe it would even be better to redifine bold  
emphasis as alert for beamer export?

I believe turning this on for all frames has drawbacks, like
loosing overlay capability?

However, I guess it does make sense to have a global variable to
set default options for frames, I guess.  I'll put that on my list.

That happens at the BEAMER_env property and give you a way to
select the environment with a single key, for example `e b' for block.
If you move the cursor to the field for env args, e will give you a
prompt where you can edit.
