Google Desktop can’t read RSS feeds with Bad Behavior installed
August 25th, 2005 by Michael Hampton
Due to a bug in Google Desktop, Bad Behavior is blocking access to it when it tries to download users’ RSS feeds. I’ve sent a message to Google (though I don’t really expect much to happen) and I’ll see if I can have a workaround in place shortly.
Affected users will see “Web Clip Error: Unknown error” in the Google Desktop.
FeedBurner users who use the FeedBurner .htaccess redirects are not affected by this issue. (And since I’m one of them, I never noticed.)
I have a ticket [#32426362] from Google for this issue. If you are seeing this, you can contact desktop-feedback@google.com and place the ticket number, with the brackets, in the subject line, and let them know you are adversely affected by this issue. Also run the program located at http://desktop.google.com/DiagnoseGoogleDesktop.exe and include the diagnostic output that it gives in your message.

Oh, also note that new releases of Bad Behavior have worked around this issue, so if you’re seeing this problem, update Bad Behavior.

I have received this warning to contact desktop-feedback@google.com but am unable to do so. Also, I have google as a desktop icon but have to click it to get google to load along the right hand vertical page of my desktop before the drop down menu appears. What do I need to do to automatically load google without having to go from the desk top icon? Thanks
