For reading RSS feeds, I use RSS Bandit and until now I was not able to use it, because even though I could install is, I could not configure it correctly or download my feeds from newsgator. The interface froze.
and when I wanted to 3D-toggle between applications I saw every object that RSS Bandit created as a different Window in my list: See Picture
last Tuesday in the evening I just thought about a possible solution: if in glass the problem exist, maybe it will not exist when I run without glass. and this seemed to be the solution. I switched off the glass interface, set up RSS Bandit, imported my feeds, and reverted to glass, everything (except the menu's from RSS Bandit) runs smoothly. If I have to reconfigure the reader, I will have to revert to basic interface for some time, do the reconfiguration and go back to glass again.

Optionaly, you could just use the keyboard shortcut's in rss-bandit... F.ex Ctrl+I to import feeds, Ctrl+E to export.

I have only had problems with the menu in rss-bandit. Everyhing else seems OK.

I upgraded my RSS Bandit installation and when I try to start the new version I get an "RSS Bandit isn't working anymore" error message (roughly translated from german to english, not sure what the message actually is. It's the standard windows "I don't want to execute this program anymore" message).

   Can't get in at all.
