I'm receiving the same error message since updating to Lion; started happening immediately. Error reads:


There was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type "file:" are not supported.


Most recently, my laptop was just sitting with my iGoogle homepage open (Safari). After sitting for about 10 minutes, the message just popped up. Whenever I get the message, I click "OK", then it immediately pops up a second time. I click "OK", and then it goes away, only to pop up again (twice everytime) in the next 30 minutes.
