I use xrandr to decrease the resolution of my display when I connect it to my TV. When I change the resolution back to my monitor, a few of the icons at the bottom of my dock are deleted.

I already found the place in the code where this happens and changed it so that any icon that I dock is never removed. I'd like to make a more permanent change to the code, though.

First of all, is this the desired action?

It seems counter-intuitive to me. If I add icons to the dock, I expect them to remain there until I remove them, even if the resolution changes. Even so, I can understand how it would be back for a user to get stuck with icons in the dock that can't be removed. (at least, from the GUI)

One option is to have a checkbox in "Expert User Preferences" for "Crop dock to screen size (needs restart)".

What do you think?
