Dear Alan,
dear Nick,

many thanks for your help. Installing minted and pygments and then putting the emacs-lisp snippet from

http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-latex-export.html#sec-12-3

into my .emacs file did work. Now my code snippets are syntax-highlighted! Do you have any suggestions on which pygments color styles work well in presentations?

Many thanks in advance,
 Stefan
