There's a new hidden preference available for List view Stacks in the Dock in 10.6. Open Terminal and run these two commands:
$ defaults write com.apple.dock use-new-list-stack -bool YES
$ killall Dock
This will make the List view behave like the Grid view, only with all items arranged in one vertical list, with names to the right.
