0. already have an RSS account created.
1. go into Account Settings for the RSS account and change its name.
2. go into Account Central for the RSS account and click "Manage Subscriptions."
3. click Add to add a new feed.
4. paste in a feed URL; I tried several:

http://rss.news.yahoo.com/rss/topstories
http://www.livejournal.com/stats/latest-rss.bml
etc...

5. click OK.

results: the feed may or may not begin to verify, but it never finishes
verifying. just hangs there. get the following JS error:

hrm, didn't even have to rename the RSS account on Mac: this occurred right
after I created a new RSS account and tried to add a feed for the first time.

fix

this was caused by my fix for Bug #261883 last night.

The rss folder picker widget now returns a URI for the server based on the
template changes I made last night. Before last night we would never get the
server URI handed back to us. This patch adds code to ignore the server as a
valid folder destination for a newly subscribed feed.
