Copy and paste the text in a terminal window, and your dock will re-appear (with the recently used apps stack). Unless you have a "customize your dock" app installed, which could be clashing with the command, your dock will not disappear unless the command is entered incorrectly. I've tested it on every version of Leopard to date, it works fine. JG,

Try clicking the Apple Button and selecting Dock > Turn Hiding On and then Apple Button again, Dock > Turn Hiding Off. This command when copied/pasted or entered correctly only adds a stack - it doesn't do anything else to your dock. But if you have other dock software installed that might explain it.. Note to other users: I've tried this on 3 Macs. It worked exactly as it was supposed to. I'll update again when I hear back from Bill (I emailed him directly) Bill -
