This would help if it were combined with a tooltip. But then, once the user knows that right clicking is available, he doesn't need the tooltip any longer. So he should be able to deactivate it. But probably this isn't worth the trouble. Another mousepointer (instead of the resizing pointer that is shown right now) could give an additional hint. But I don't know what Qt has to offer. A more detailed description of the Leo window that includes the splitter in 'The Basic's of Leo' would help. An additional 'Layout' button/icon in the button bar/toolbar (or a 'Layout' menu) could make this functionality visible.
