There's a hindrance in this new code. Say I have  4 outlines open.  I run 
Leo with --init-docks and adjust one after another until the tabs are the 
way I want for all four outlines.  Then I close Leo and re-open if with 
--use-docks.  All four outlines open and have the same layout as when I 
closed Leo.  So far, so good.

But if I start a new outline, then it has the default layout, which is not 
what I want.  I then have to close Leo and re-open with --init-docks, but 
then I lose the layouts of the four previous tabs.  This behavior not going 
to be practical; it will irritate users over time.

I suggest that the user needs to be able to designate the layout of a 
selected outline as the preferred layout, and then all new outlines will 
open with that layout.  Even better would be to be able to save and apply 
several layouts by name, like we used to do with the legacy layout system.
