Objectdock & Dexpot Window Catalog

Anyone using Objectdock with Dexpot Window catalog without graphical stutters?

Seems like Objectdock tries to take a screenshot of application/windows for dock previews and it seems to cause dexpot window catalog to stutter when activated. In some cases it causes Windows 7 to completely freeze.

When i disable showing running windows in objectdock everything works smoothly with dexpot windows catalog.

Poking around I found what is causing the graphical stutters and crashes. Objectdock uses window's "Aero Peek" for thumbnail snap shots of running processes. When I disable that feature dexpot doesn't stutter or crash anymore. For now the workaround is to disable Aero Peek, but I would still like to have the thumbnail preview appear in objectdock.

I am assuming dexpot uses Aero peek to also grab snapshots and it some how conflicts with objectdock?
