Hi Paul & Daniel,

I have been out & just got back into my office.
Daniel the other plist I would move is:  
"~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist"

Also Paul, check in System Preferences > Mission Control > Automatically 
rearrange spaces based on most recent use - Ensure this is UNTICKED!

Cheers,
Ronni
