This is good news to me, I didn't know. Does it behave just like in 10.4?

No; the right-click menu is not the same.

Nor is it the same when you click.

It's not? I haven't tried it, but I thought putting in a folder in
the dock pre-Leopard meant you could left-click it and open it, just
the same as you are saying you can do by left-clicking an alias in the
dock. What's the difference? You don't mean click-and-hold is
different, do you?

You know what - I stand corrected. I was so used to right-clicking on the
folders I was thinking it was the standard click behavior. With the alias
the click behavior is the same as it was before.
