Is it possible to use the google gadgets (from google desktop) with the Vista Sidebar?

Nope :o( Only files with the .gadget extension work I'm afraid.

No, they don't support the gadgets framework. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

The Sidebar doesn't work too well on my computer - it keeps "unexpectedly" shutting down. So I installed Google Deskbar and use Google gadgets with much better results.

Does it send in a crash report when it fails? I want to make sure we understand and fix this problem.
