This behaves correctly. The dock is part of the standard Mac OS X interface. It is not supposed to be quit and leave the user without their dock. If you are writing your own desktop (which it appears to some extent you are) you will need to find a way to get the dock to quit and stay quit (hint: rename the Dock.app to something else :-) ).

(Loginwindow will relaunch the Dock, the System UI server and the finder if any of them quit).

I am interested in a behavior of the dock. When I quit the dock with this applescript:

tell application "Dock"
quit
end tell

the dock does indeed quit, but after about a second, it is relaunched. What's up with that?
