I’m a Dock minimalist. \u00a0There are only three applications that live in my Dock: mail, web, IM. \u00a0Everything else is launched via Spotlight search. \u00a0I like having an uncluttered Dock, and I like that my Dock only ever shows the applications that I have open.<\/p>\n

Every once in awhile, my Dock will stop updating itself. \u00a0It won’t show when I’ve launched an application that lives in my Dock, and it won’t show additional apps that I’ve launched. \u00a0When this happens, it always throws me off to discover that I’ve got an app open that isn’t showing in m Dock.<\/p>\n
