Yes it will get rid of your open app on your dock but.. it will disappear from Application Switcher. That sux. Admittedly I have both Dock Dodger and Dock Spaces running at once and haven't tested to see if turning off Dock Spaces rectifies the lost Application Switcher feature. Dock Spaces. This is great. But it's very slow in combination with Spaces until it caches. This should've been a feature in Spaces all along. I vaguely remember seeing a pre-release promo on Leopard where it showed this feature in action. Dock Dodger.

In Leopard, you can put the display to sleep instantly with SHIFT+CTRL+EJECT.

When might something like Dock Dodger come in handy? Let’s say, for example, you downloaded the very cool system monitoring application XRG when we mentioned it recently. The app’s great, but it has a useless Dock icon. To get rid of its icon, just drag XRG to the Dock Dodger window; next time you restart the app, its icon is nowhere to be found. If you decide you want an icon back in the Dock later, just rinse and repeat the same process. Dock Dodger is donationware, Mac OS X only.

And when I was in my "home" space--space 1--the checkmark was next to Default, even though it was my own custom Dock. So I thought that later when I chose Default, I'd just be undoing everything I'd done with Dock Spaces, but instead it went all the way back to the stock Dock. Oh well. And yeah, I finally remembered the Display As Folder command, thanks. I found the menu bar icon, but I couldn’t figure out how to make a different Dock for each space.
