[Ti] Invisible Dock

According to Chris Olson:

Me too :=)

The thing is, with the Dock 'hidden', one can easily see which apps 
are open by using Command-TabKey . The open apps pop up with their 
names, and, of course, can be selected or quit when they're 'up'. 
Command-Shift-Tab will go in the reverse direction. It's really 
handy, and one of my favorite parts of the Aqua interface also.

I use other apps to navigate sometimes. AliasMenu, which can show 
nested folders, right down to the 'Contents' of packages, is very 
handy, also, and can be used to trash items, even multiple, 
non-contiguous items, from its own menu. very nice.
