My MacBook Pro is having some weird dock problems that started today. I recently installed a 64GB Patriot SSD and reinstalled the OS from scratch. I've tried repairing permissions but no luck.
Here's a pic

I'm missing something. I see nothing wrong with your Dock. Can you be more specific?

Finder icon, Dashboard icon are missing, correct reflection of dock is not there.
for comparison here's the dock from my imac.

If you just installed the OS, your Dock won't reflect the changes you made on your iMac's Dock. Also be sure you're logged in as the same user, with the same privileges. If you need to rebuild the Dock's plist, delete this file:

/Users/~username~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
 
I solved the dock problem, took the functioning dock.app from my imac, put it on to my MacBook pro (deleted the old one via terminal)
I still have some other problems... Now the icons in my ichat won't display. like the avatars. Damnit...
