10.5: Avoid a Stacks/Dock/FontExplorer X crash issue

I was having an issue with the Dock crashing in 10.5.2, taking Dashboard and Spaces with it, whenever I clicked on a stack -- unless the stack was set to list view, or the folder was completely empty.

Turns out, it's all related to LinoType FontExplorerX. If you quit that app, everything works well. You can run the program to load and unload fonts; just don't click the Dock while it's running. I'm not pro enough to diagnose it further, but at least I can work around it until there's a fix.
