Sorry for the repeat post. Initially this post wouldn't publish because of too many links.
ScottMemberOK, my hypothesis is that if you include multiple links in a forum post, it is either rejected or held back from posting? Probably a spam prevention technique...
ScottMemberOK, that's just weird. This post posted fine?

So in order for a child theme template file to inherit the out of the box goodness from Genesis, Genesis actually has to be called, at least the loop portion?, as in:
genesis();
I kept hacking at my theme's home.php file and couldn't figure out why I wasn't seeing Genesis elements like:
<div id="content-sidebar-wrap">
in the HTML even though I had specified those in the WP/Genesis Admin. Well the home.php file never actually calls genesis. Instead this theme's home page is a completely custom page w/ some nice options. Which is cool if you can live w/ only the options provided. Not so great if you'd planned on customizations via Genesis elements & hooks. 🙁To come to this realization, I copied the php code from for the home.php file of the Studiopress eleven40-pro theme into the home.php file for Megalithe. I use eleven40-pro on my personal site scottmortiz.com. This created a Frankenstein homepage but it allowed genesis to do its thing and bring in the genesis loop, default layout, etc.
So now the hat trick will be, hacking the Megalithe Theme's home.php functionality into Genesis, get the structural bones right, along with CSS and I'm off to the races. Lesson learned - start simple and build vs. starting with fancy/complex theme and attempting a customization. Ugh, let's do this...

I had tried changing the default layout in the Genesis Theme, that didn't work. I also tried your filter idea, first attempt didn't work but I'm going to try a couple more ways to see if I can force content_sidebar? I'm starting to wonder if the sidebar is there but made to look not there in CSS? Big rocks -> little rocks...
Thanks for the suggestions,

I did a scan of both functions.php and home.php for "remove_action", as in remove_action('hook', 'sidebar') but didn't find anything that would lead me to believe that the child theme removed the standard Genesis sidebar. I'll keep searching. Thanks for the lead Susan.
