10.5.2 & Linotype FontExplorer X

Anyone else having issues with Linotype's FontExplorer X?
Safari refuses to load certain pages when FE is running [daringfireball, pitchforkmedia, for examples.]
iPhoto wouldn't start up.

Quitting FE fixes the issue, but then of course I have to use Font Book...

I turned off extraneous fonts, cleared caches, reset safari, checked for obvious conflicts, etc.
All to no avail. Only thing that works is quitting FontExplorer, and that seems to instantly do the trick.

Thoughts?

I am impressed that the developers of FE responded so quickly. Updated and all works fine now.

Lino is so awesome for addressing these issues so quickly. I'm more impressed because it's a free app. I have even more respect for them now.

I agree. Thanks Linotype. Yesterday was a terrible day after uploading to 10.5.2, halfway through a major project, but today everything is back on track. Thanks again.
