I don't know if this will help with your problem, but this should
probably look more like:

\documentclass[dvipsnames,table]{beamer}

\usepackage{euler}
\usepackage[cm-default,quiet]{fontspec}
\usepackage{xunicode}
\usepackage{xltxtra}

\mode<presentation>
{\usetheme{Warsaw}
\setbeamercovered{transparent}}

\title{blabla}
\author{dontcare}
\institute{someinstitute}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
\includegraphics[height=3in]{info}
\end{frame}

\end{document}

Note that you're not supposed to provide an extension to filenames in
\includegraphics statements. Also, if you want UTF8 support, it's best
to use xelatex instead of pdflatex with babel/inputenc. Much less hacky
and painful.
