    Disable Snow Leopard Dashboard...

    To disable the Dashboard on a Mac running Snow Leopard just execute the following line in a command window.

    defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES && killall Dock

    and to re-enable it just dexecute this line in a command window.

    defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean NO && killall Dock

    Dashboard is a resource hog, so if like me you don't use it you can now get it out of your way. Credit goes to jonathans blog for the execution code.
