Also, from http://toolbar.google.com/deskbar/help/faq.html:

Google Deskbar is beta software, so you might be having other problems. You
can report them to either (e-mail address removed) or to
google.public.labs.google-deskbar. However, since Google Deskbar is a Google
Labs demo, Google may not be able to respond to your inquiry individually.

Personally, I like Dave's Quick Search Deskbar.

Please read first:

"That is why we want you to know about the Google Deskbar "Feedback
Statistics" feature, which causes some Google Deskbar usage information
to be sent to Google (as described below), and how you can disable that
feature if you would prefer."

A fair warning.

I installed this, turned off the extra features and sending info. back to
Google, and turned on a packet trace and firewall log. Nothing mysterious
is being sent as best as I can tell. I'm comfortable using it with the
higher privacy setting.
