hey Bob.. there is a new version in the pipe that will resolve your aspect ratio issues.

i'm trying to get more in before the next release. just letting you know, relief is in sight.

as for the pip swap time.. i believe that is due to wow updating its internal graphic surfaces to the new resolution...
(can anyone confirm this? is there a way to keep it from doing this? PMs are always private)

therefore, i believe it is a factor of your hardware and resolution
