I am just wandering what would happen if Leo use some default value
for Leo ID during the first run if it could not find .leoID.txt file?
I may be wrong, but I think that Leo ID serves to provide uniqueness
of gnx-es when two or more users want to share same Leo file.
A newbie running Leo for the first time is not going to share any
important piece of work so even if his gnx is not globally unique and
possibly could clash with someone's else gnx, it would be not so
important.  If I am missing something, please correct me.

In that case it would be perfectly safe for Leo to ask for ID after
opening main window (or maybe even just before the first attempt  to
save file) and finding that ID is the default one.
