I was having the same problem . You might want to check the System Preferences that control Expose´. The one that controls the hot corners (active screen corners) Dashboard is set up there as one of the corners. You can disable it there. I finally added a modifier key to push while also moving the mouse to the hot corner. That solved my problem of dashboard and some others showing up when I didn't want them to. Now if I want dashboard I have to hit the modifier key while also moving the cursor to the corner.

If all else fails you can remove Dashboard from the applications folder.

My wife's iMac has Dashboard and it irritates the hell out of her, she doesn't use it and it "activates" when she doesn't want it to.
We've tried trashing the app and rebooting and it still shows up.
Is there anyway to get it totally off her machine and out of her life?
Thanks,
