Hi Christopher,
Changing the columns format from view to view is not trivial.
This is what the variable org-overriding-column-format is
for. You must not set this in a normal way, but only as
an option for an agenda command, for example
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
'(("x" "With deadline columns" alltodo ""
((org-agenda-overriding-columns-format "%20ITEM %DEADLINE")
(org-agenda-start-view-columns-initially t)))))
This will define the "x" as an agenda dispatcher custom key,
creating an agenda view, defining a special columns format,
and immediately turning on column view.
Hmmm, at least this was *supposed* to work this way, but I see
now that there is a little bug.
You need to get the latest git release (or release 6.15c)
for this to work correctly....

Get back here when you cannot figure out how to do this.
OK, so I can't figure out how to do this :-)
First, how I'm using org-mode:
Inside ~/working I have nested project directories; some for home and
some for work; projects within projects within projects. Whenever I
need a new PROJECTNAME.org, I create it wherever in the hierarchy it
belongs, and then symlink it into the proper toplevel (which roughly
corresponds to the start of a particular SVN or Git repository). This
way, I have much smaller list of org-agenda-files to maintain.
I have some custom agenda views defined, that tell me things like what
I have to do today, and what to do in various contexts etc. For this
I aggregate all of the .org files I've written.
I don't want to go adding a :COLUMNS: property to every .org file that
I want to include in a custom view; I'd rather define :COLUMNS: for
"types" of views that I want. Where would I define this? I suppose
that I could write definitions in "hidden" files that get explicitly
sourced based on what view I want, but that seems roundabout...
Thanks... and org-mode rocks!
