I don't have a mac anymore to check but there was a magic pref that I set from the commandline to adjust the auto-show delay. I set it to something like 10s which made sure that it effectively never appeared by accident. If you really don't want it I assume you could set the delay to a couple of hours.

Thanks. I'll look that up. I used to have a setting tweaked so that the dock size was 1px or something like that. Trying both of these might help.
