I would suggest that when converting to beamer slides, that the default be to not include the navigation symbols.

This is easy to do, just add \setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{} to the latex preamble.

The fact that it is easy to do is perhaps a good argument for not changing it, but defaults matter and in my 6+ years of making beamer slides and watching presentations using beamer I have never seen anyone use the navigation symbols, which makes it just visual junk cluttering up the presentation.

@jgm Added 'navigation' variable to beamer template.
Valid values are `empty` (the default), `horizontal`, `vertical`,
and `frame`.  Note that this changes the default behavior from
`horizontal` to `empty`.  Closes #2543.
