I use QT docks and prefer a two pane workspace. Sometimes I will expand that to three pane depending on the task at hand.

By default Leo will use "Body" as the title of the body editor. If I open an additional body editor, something nifty happens. "Body" as the the title of the main editor is replaced by the headline of the node that is currently being worked on. IMHO this should be the default. The behaviour persists even after the additional body editor is closed.

Leo also creates a top line title, "Leo Outlines" which I find redundant and a waste of space so I propose that the default should be no title at all.

Here are screenshots to illustrate.

I've just created #1527 for this. I've scheduled this for 6.2, but there are no guarantees. In fact, I'm not sure it's a good idea.

Probably a better idea. Note that this label only appears when --global-docks is in effect.
