The value is set programmatically, so forcing it to "NO" (ie 3D effects on) has no effect: as soon as you toss the dock to the edge, it turns 2D again.

Right, but what if you set it AFTER moving the dock? Is it reset the next time the dock restarts, or just ignored? Like I said, I was just guessing :)

It's just ignored. The Dock app seems to reset the pref when you drag it to the side.
