Until recently I kept the dock hidden and almost never used it but with the extra real-estate afforded by the 15" alBook I've been trying to use it a little. I decided to put three things on the dock permanently and those three remain right under the Finder (I keep the dock on the right side of the display) When my machine first logs on five applications automatically load including DragThing, SpamFire, and SpellCatcher. All five run in the background 24/7 and typically several others do too.
Here's what has me puzzled...I think. As I said, SpamFire is one of 5 applications that start on login and never stop running. Over the last week or so I've been noticing that SpamFire is moving up and down the dock. The other day I restarted after doing an update and afterwards realized that SpamFire was the fourth icon from the top. (Being 4th from the top, it was the first running application, not counting the Finder.) Later in the day it was near the middle of the pack and at some point later it was at the bottom. The only icons that seem to stay in place are the Finder, the three icons I dragged into the dock, and the trash. The others seem to move at will. Can anyone explain this? I'm guessing if I dragged SpamFire to the dock it would stay where I dragged it, but why do the others move around? (I'm picking out SpamFire because it was the one I noticed and focused on, but the others are moving around too.) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
