This article from Kevin Schmitt describes a method of removing the dock in 10.2 -- apparently at startup, the Dock is somehow involved in providing functionality to the desktop, so the old method (see this hint) of killing it off doesn't work well in 10.2.

[robg adds: The article describes how to move the Dock to a new location, run it once to enable the desktop, then use an AppleScript to quit it for good ... personally, I've never found it that obnoxious but if you do, this appears to be a good meands of removing it under 10.2.]
