I can't see how Expos� and Dashboard have anything to do with the Dock.. I'm talking about the application launcher found by default at the bottom of the screen.

Please don't go confusing a really simple discussion TETANAL

The trash is fine where it is IMO and I tried to underline that as well as I could. It is however only available from the Dock and I don't see why the Dock should have exlusive rights to the trash. It is just an invisible folder on the HD after all.. one idea would be to have the trash in the sidabar of the metal Finder windows where the drives and other folders are.

Yep, more UI elements could be introduced to the Dock icons.. clickable ones for instance. Apps like Adium have a lot of graphical feedback in the app icon and that is pretty neat.

@ everyone

one flaw with the Dock I can think of is that it can become very very small. Some people actually prefer it that way. That would make enhanced UI elements in Dock icons a problem. Nothing critical, since if one are using the Dock in a very small mode one isn't really using it to see visual clues.

I think the world is ready for a Dock 2.0!
