adjust itemize and enumeration indent in beamer

[robfelty]

I have been trying to figure out how to adjust the itemize and
enumeration indent amount using the beamer class. I have done this
successfully for other classes using the tweaklist package. I have
also been successful using
\setlength{\itemindent}{1em} inside a particular itemize environment,
but that only applies to the one environment, whereas I would like to
set it globally for the whole document (this is what tweaklist does).
Tweaklist does not work with beamer though, since tweaklist redefines
enumerate and itemize, as does as beamer. Looking at
beamerbaselocalstructure.sty, I found the enumerate and itemize
definitions there, but haven't been able to figure out how to hack
them. Among other things, they set a command \beameritemnestingprefix,
which tweaklist chokes on. I have searched the beamer group, and not
found anything there. I would appreciate any help.

Thanks.

In that same style file, beamer has 3 lengths that set the margins for
lists:

\leftmargini
\leftmarginii
\leftmarginiii

They are each set to 2em. You can change these values in your document
to fix the indents globally.
