Nope, I don't think so. As Spencer told me on IRC, layouts don't have a
name.

Yes, I would like to have that information for use in my logHook,
too. There are some layouts that cannot be distinguished quickly,
e.g. the normal tiling, full and twopane look identically for one
window. Normal tiling and twopane look similar with two windows, too.

So the only way to know what layout is used currently is to create some
new windows and see how it behaves, or to memorize the list of layouts.
