Is there a way to make the desktop icons in 10.2 dock-aware? I thought they were in 10.1.x.

No one has any ideas? I've done a google search and an Apple Knowledge Base search and have come up with nothing. It may be pretty obvious, but I don't know where to look (btw--the more I use Apple's KB, the less I like it, though most seem to speak highly of it).

I also have the same problem, but have not found/heard of a solution.

What about keeping your desktop uncluttered and manually keeping icons out of the dock's way?

Or if you need, command-option-d to hide the dock and then you can access your icons.

I keep my desktop very clean, and I have no need for dock-aware icons:

I took the geek approach and made invisible icons with spaces as names and placed them just under my dock so icons won't go underneath it. Works very well actually. Just don't set the desktop to be arranged by name and the invisble ones should never move.

OK, so it doesn't look like the desktop was designed to be dock-aware. I thought it had been in versions prior to 10.2 (and you'd think it would be pretty obvious for apple to have made it so in all versions). Well...thanks for the replies, folks.
