Just now, after I went through several rounds of --init-docks/fix 
layout/--use-docks one after another on the four files I want to have open 
at once, and then I reopened Leo, one of the outlines opened in the 
--init-docks configuration even though I had used --use-docks.

The whole thing is just unworkable as it is.  Not that I have any useful 
suggestions myself.  I don't have a clue about how this all works.
