physics engine is broken in the current kiba dock version. if you want jumping icons, you'll have to use an older version.

I was never a big fan of the physics - good from a technical point of view, but I found it pretty impractical from a usage point of view

if you do have a newer version installed, well, remove it. if not, I think the configuration files format changed a lot since then, so you'll have to remove kiba-dock configuration files before it'll work. try looking for a hidden folders called .kiba or .kiba-dock in your home directory, the ~/.config/ and ~/.gconf/apps/ folders.
