I was too pessimistic. An easy *rule of thumb* clarifies matters: *The
main splitter corresponds to the longest vertical or horizontal line.*
For example, I was having trouble with the "render-focused" layout:
┌────────────────┬──────────┐
│ outline │ │
├────────────────┤ │
│ body │ vr │
├────────────────┤ │
│ log │ │
└────────────────┴──────────┘
The rule of thumb says that the main splitter splits *horizontally.* It
contains the three panes on the left and a single (initially hidden) VR
pane on the right. The secondary splitter (or splitters) split *vertically.*

Focusing on splitters clarifies matters. QtDesigner isn't going to help.
Two more rules of thumb:
- All layouts should be independent of each other.
- Don't use settings to modify layouts.
*Summary*
Leo will soon have a library of official layouts. Plugins can provide more.
Leo's existing features will suffice to discover and select layouts.
I expect to complete layout work soon after returning from vacation. Please
be patient until then :-)
