    Yep, a slight variation of your solution works. I now
    have in my .emacs:
    (add-hook 'outline-mode-hook '(lambda () (hide-sublevels 1)))

Forgot to quote it.  Sorry.

    I've never seen that syntax before -- putting a '1'
    after a function that takes no args. Does that just mean
    'make it so'? I don't know why just having
    hide-sublevels without the '1' won't work.

`hide-sublevels' used non-interactively actually does take
one argument[1].  Its interactive definition must give it some
way around that, since used interactively it behaves as if
it were passed the argument `1'.  I am not sure how it works
after a quick glance.
