Thanks Shay. All is looking well again. Doing a search for com.apple.dock listed two files: Users_home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist System/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dockfixup.plist
Removing the user's preference file had no effect except for resetting the size and magnification options - the icons were still unresponsive. Removing the System file - dockfixup - was the winner. I don't know where this file came from. It is dated 12/12/02 and was not recreated after reboot.

Yes, sounds like it could be. You could try throwing away the appropriate '.plist' file, probably being com.apple.dock.plist Have fun, Shay
