My plan to update the docs as follows:

1. Retain the simplistic description of how Leo searches for settings
files, and label it as simplistic (and highly recommended!).

2. Create a "horrible details" section that will explain what the
actual search table means.  Something like::

 1. globalConfigDir/leoSettings.leo
 2. homeDir/leoSettings.leo
 3. g.app.loadDir/leoSettings.leo
 4. globalConfigDir/myLeoSettings.leo
 5. homeDir/myLeoSettings.leo
 6. machineDir/leoSettings.leo
 7. g.app.loadDir/myLeoSettings.leo
 8. <the file specified in the -c command-line option>
 9. <x.leo, the file being loaded>

I'd call it the 8-fold way, but there are 9 folds.

I shall then explain how Leo computes globalConfigDir, homeDir,
g.app.loadDir and (oh horror) machineDir.  Each of these directories
will require at least a full paragraph.
Not fun, but it should be comprehensible.
