You are :-)
main_template is the Zope Page Template that defines the general  
layout in Plone for every generated page.
It contains the main macro that sets up the different sections of a  
page (header, breadcrumbs, portal tabs, right and left slots, footer,  
etc…) by calling the needed macros.

The part of a page where the content of an object is displayed is  
called the Content Region.

There are a few products that let editors choose the general layout  
of the content region for certain type of documents, but I don't know  
if they are still actively maintained.
If such functionality is requested for the the gnome web site, a  
product review would be necessary.
