Locking the Dock on Mac OS X

To lock the dock and prevent any accidental drag & drop to move the dock icons, type the following commands in the terminal:

> defaults write com.apple.dock contents-immutable -bool true
> osascript -e 'tell application "Dock" to quit'


To unlock it, change the value from 'true' to 'false' in the first line of command.
