Thanks! Somehow, both example don't work. The patch probably
just because I patched the beamer.el by hand; I will try the
correct way. Using the no-patch variant nothing happens and
when I try to describe variables with 'C-h v ' I just find
'font-latex-match-sectioning-3-keywords'; there are no other
sectioning variables available!?

Aeh, just found that I use auctex 11.52 ... I actually
already installed 11.55, but this happens when mixing two
different package manager (archlinux and gentoo); stupid. I
will clean up my system and try it again.
