No hacks except for the screen spanner which I'm not using and have only used once. I don't think that would cause any troubles. I did install and run the Mac Janitor today but I don't think that's the cause either. God this is driving me nuts. Just yesterday the letters would not appear when I ran the pointer across the icons, now the Finder decides it wants out. ARGGGH why can't it "just work". 🙁

Is this still installed? If so, remove it. Also, try to delete your dock prefs (com.apple.dock.plist) file and reboot. You will need to rebuild your dock afterward, I think.

Mine did this once; no hacks at all on it...
I just logged off and on again and ta da, it fixed itself and has never done it again.

This used to happen to me a lot. I would have the dock at the bottom and hidden. Sometimes I'd call up the dock select a program, but when the dock disappeared again it left the finder icon behind.
I have shapeshifter installed but no dock hacks.
It has stopped happening since I moved to tiger from panther and moved the dock to the right side.
