Hi Christopher,

Seems I mistyped a variable name.  I just tested
the following, and it works for me:

    (setq org-agenda-custom-commands
          '(("p" "Projects" tags "+xxx|+xx|+x"
             ((org-agenda-overriding-columns-format "%20ITEM %DEADLINE")
              (org-agenda-view-columns-initially t)))))

This does work for me, at least to some extend.  There may still be  
issues
which have to do with local and global bindings, which I have
not been able to sort out.
