Yes, you are right.  I thought if default was selected as template for a 
page, then the template specified by 
plugin.tx_rlmptmplselector_pi1.defaultTemplateFileNameMain would be 
used.  Apparently, that's not right.  Now I've learnt the
plugin.tx_rlmptmplselector_pi1.defaultTemplateFileNameMain is only used
when there are no templates selected for the current page, or its
parent(s).

My page tree was like this.

--
front page (two-column.html)
   subpage1
     subsubpage
   subpage2
--

That's why all the sub pages show up using the same template.

Now the page tree is like:

--
front page (one-column.html, short cut to dumbpage)
   dumbpage (two-column.html)
   subpage1
     subsubpage
   subpage2
--

So now only front page show up in two column format, but all the 
subpages use one column template.

I'm sure there must be other ways to achieve what I want.  If anybody 
want to share their ideas, please.  I'd always like to hear.

Thanks,

Bing
