I've been using LaTeX since I started university 6 years ago, and grateful to everyone ever involved in the kernel, or in the various packages, distributions and websites, those who introduced me to it and those who answer related questions!

I'm following with interest the developments on LaTeX3 and also the alternative engines, which I hope to one-day be able to exploit more!

comment Hide button after it's selected in Beamer
For the ocgx approach I had in mind, one would need to combine \hyperlink and \actionsocg. I have tried but I don't know enough about the PDF specification to successfully combine /A << /S/SetOCGState /State [/Toggle \csname OCGpdfobjGeometry100\endcsname] >> and /A<</S/GoTo/D(Geometry1000)>>.

comment Absolute positioning in beamer when using `show notes on second screen`: text on wrong page
@Thomas: thanks for letting me know about the overfull hbox issues. I have (hopefully) fixed these now, at least for the default footnote template in beamer, which is the only version of the template I can see defined in the beamer sources (using grep).

comment pgfplots contour example error
I assume since you have posted the bounty that this is still unsolved. Please clarify what progress you have made since asking the question and what troubles you are still having? You have installed gnuplot, compiled with --enable-write18 and you get the same error? Can you include any other information that might be helpful, for example a complete MWE (beginning with \documentclass and ending in \end{document}), and your log file? To help identify where the problem lies, have you tried compiling it from the command line or only through your editor?

comment Beamer handout: Problem when creating border around frames
@AndrewStacey: If you get chance, I would love to hear any opinions you may have on the 'improvements' I have made to this in tex.stackexchange.com/a/89491.

@Kurt: I have extended my answer (and you may feel it no longer qualifies as 'good'), but note that the original \makeatletter part was provided by the OP.
