Well, I've been messing with it...
I have my trash can back, and everything looks normal. I can remove icons, but I can't move them along the dock. Also, the finder icon isn't there. It's just invisible.
I think my CoreSystem -> Dock file got all FUBARd. I put a finder.png image from interfacelift in there... and it gives me an error.
Anybody wanna host their System -> Core system -> Dock folder for me so I can copy and paste on my macbook.
I don't have my Leopard disc with me... so I'm f-ed right now...
