Jo has said that happy people don't become ghosts, however; IIRC, she 
has also said that James and Lily didn't become ghosts, and if you 
can still be considered happy if you're murdered at 22, believing 
as you die that your baby son is about to be killed also, I'd say the 
unhappiness bar is set pretty high.  I'm sure that Dumbledore has 
unfulfilled wishes more substantial than socks (and I say this as 
someone who takes wool socks very seriously), but I agree with Jim 
that he is as ready for death as a person gets.
