Leo now sports optional dockable widgets, as described in #1150 
<https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor/issues/1150>.  All the work is 
being done in the "dock" branch.

To enable, add --dock to the command line. Leo remains completely unchanged 
otherwise.

As you will see, the "Tabs" dock replaces the Log pane.  However, the Tabs 
dock works *exactly* as before, except that it can be moved, etc, just like 
any other dockable widget.

Making the Tabs dock work like the Log pane collapsed the complexity of the 
code and avoided any drastic gui changes. Very little of Leo's code has 
actually changed. There is no need to modify any plugin, or remove Leo's 
nested splitter code.

The only other gui-related change will be to put each additional body 
editor in its own dockable widget.  That's the next task. I'll merge "dock" 
into "devel" only when this task is complete.

Straightforward additions to Leo's theme (.leo) files will adapt the theme 
to dockable widgets.  

*Summary*

Leo will use docks only if --docks appears on the command line. 

Leo looks and feels essentially the same regardless of --dock.

Dockable widgets will always be optional.

A few other straightforward tasks remain. See #1150 
<https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor/issues/1150> for details details.
