Clarification... whatever that launcher is, it was never a part of 
NeXTSTEP or OpenStep, which had a dock.

The *Step dock was "fixed".  You'd get however many icons you could fit 
down the right (*) side if your screen.  It contained running and not 
running apps.  If you started another app that wasn't on the Dock, its 
icon went down to the bottom left of the screen and started working its 
way across.

(*) if you were an uber-hacker you could move it to the left side by 
using a 'defaults write'

ps - best launcher I've seen thus far, NeXTStep and beyond, is LaunchBar
