Every so often - about once a week - ObjectDock appears to go into a coma. My vertical Dock doesn't show up at all, and my horizontal tabbed dock is just a bunch of inactive tabs. This is extremely frustrating when I have asked to hide the task bar, and can't get back to ObjectDock to unhide it!
The only solution appears to be to start ObjectDock from its folder. When I do that everything springs suddenly back to life.
