No, window states are always saved. Still, you can reset config before 
launching vlc, something like :

    vlc -I skins  --skins2-last  /path/your_skin.vlt  --reset-config

I personally would stick to one single window shown by default, and 
conditional layouts whose visibility is based on vlc.isPlaying and 
vlc.hasVout to automatically show or hide things for users. Using 
multiple layouts within a single window is often more advisable than 
using multiple windows for a similar result.
