OT: Anyone know of a way to lock the Dock in Leopard?

[Derek Bump]

Thank you to everyone who helped me with resolving this issue.  I used 
Jim's terminal commands and now the icons stay nicely in the dock.  Even 
better, they don't even leave the dock if they are dragged.  For the 
life of me I still can't understand why this isn't a checkbox in the 
dock's preferences.

Again, thanks to everyone!
