The Dock writes its prefs on exit (from memory). So to change them, you must 1. Do the edit or change 2. Give the Dock a kill -9 OR 1. Login on a different account 2. su in Terminal to the other account (or sudo) to make the change without that account's Dock running. -- Wes Groleau Mexico Under Siege http://Ideas.Lang-Learn.us/russell?itemid=1534 |
