I always assumed the stacks were only set to stacks options until I went through other threads about this. I've tried repair permissions already. The thing is it has been this way for ages (ever since I've got this macbook late 2007) so i assume it changes back to stack options by nature everytime I open the macbook lid from sleep.
I tinker with candybar, changing my dock icons and dock itself alot to the point when changing icons, candybar doesn't carry out all the changes I put in. Could that be a problem? If so how do i rectify it?
