10.5: Use Tiger's Dock in Leopard
Authored by: mk400 on Tue, Nov 13 2007 at 6:37PM PST

(1) After you replace Leopards Dock.app with Tigers Dock.app you must run "killall Dock" from the terminal, or reboot to make this work.

(2) This is cool, and completely restores the old Dock, black triangles and all.

(3) This completely breaks Spaces. DOH!!!

I say again, Spaces does not work at all if you do this.
You should save a copy of the original Leopard Dock.app. Returning the Leopard version to its correct location, and rerunning the command above repairs Spaces.

Perhaps we can all petition apple for a patch.
