I¹m certain that¹s not correct. We use the decorators.xml file extensively and we¹re able to have pretty fine control over the sitemesh decorators. I know in our installation the decorator is based on the action url rather than the resulting jsp file.
For example you could include a excludes pattern which ignores all widget requests by placing <pattern>/widgets/*</pattern> in your excludes section.
