comment Increasing the size of a minipage proportional to the contain
A bad question, sorry. I meant that keeping the textwidth fixed and adjusting the height.

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean. Where does fixing the width present a problem for height?

comment Increasing the size of a minipage proportional to the contain
Thanks, but the gap isn't proportional to the amount of text in the environment. For example, \begin{Notes}Test\end{Notes} should only have a small gap around it.

comment Positioning content at the top of a beamer slide (by default)
I did look at the beamer documentation and searched it using the word "position". But that didn't work.

Thanks. I knew it was simple, but my googling didn't turn up the related option.

comment Using the “master file” with emacs and Sweave
No. I think it something to do with the file extensions (they're .Rnw not .tex).

comment Using the “master file” with emacs and Sweave
To sweave a document you use the command M-n s and it doesn't (seem) to have any idea about the concept of a master file. I tried to hack my .emacs, but things quickly got messy. For example, auctex expects .tex file extensions. At this point, I thought there must be a better way.

comment Using the “master file” with emacs and Sweave
In emacs C+c C+b copies the preamble and the "included file" into a temporary file called _region.tex. It then latexs that file. Of course, chapter numbers, etc, are off. But it's very handy for quick checks.
