Disclaimer: i'm not a Latex expert.

i accomplish this by embedding this in an another minipage spanning
the entire line. for example ...

> \begin{slide}{Results}

\begin{minipage}[t]{\linewidth}

> \end{minipage}

\end{minipage}

> \end{slide}

i don't have to use this trick if i have some text that appears before
the two side-by-side minipages.
