You could also just kill the dock, without having to log out or
restart. it restarts automatically. In a terminal, enter this, and hit
return:
ps -ax | grep "/System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app/Contents/MacOS/Dock"

This will give you a list of all processes. Each line starts with a number,
take the number from the first line, and type:

kill <number goes here>

and hit return. The dock will disappear, and return after a couple of
seconds.

For example, on my machine, it looks like this:

[localhost:~] clarkcox% ps -ax | grep
"/System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app/Contents/MacOS/Dock"
536 ?? S 0:00.96
/System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app/Contents/MacOS/Dock -psn_0_3145729
545 std R+ 0:00.00 grep
/System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app/Contents/MacOS/Dock
[localhost:~] clarkcox% kill 536
[localhost:~] clarkcox%
