Tim:
I'm pretty sure this is how I set this up:

In your decorator screen:

<set field="MainColumnStyle" value="nocolumns" global="true"/>

<container id="ecom-mainarea">

<include-screen name="${leftbarScreenName}"
location="${leftbarScreenLocation}"/>
<include-screen name="${rightbarScreenName}"
location="${rightbarScreenLocation}"/>

<container style="${MainColumnStyle}">

<platform-specific><html><html-template
location="component://common/webcommon/includes/messages.ftl"/></html></platform-specific>
<decorator-section-include name="body"/>
</container>

<container style="endcolumns"/>

And then in your main screen, leave out or comment out the column settings
<actions>



I think the MainColumnStyle gets overridden by the setting in the
decorator screen.
