There isn't a 1 mag group listed for the RSS feed, but I tried:

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsww/catalogs/eqs7day-M1.xml

based on the other URLS and it worked (as a web page).  I created a 
userstations.xml in my .metapps/DefaultIdv directory which looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<stationtables>

  <stationtable
     name="Magnitude 1+  in last 7 days"
     category="Earth/Earthquakes"
     href="http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsww/catalogs/eqs7day-M1.x
ml"/>

</stationtables>

and got a plot.

You could add in a places.xml for GEON that looks like the above.
