     /*
     rsslisting.cpp

     Provides a widget for displaying news items from RDF news sources.
     RDF is an XML-based format for storing items of information (see
     http://www.w3.org/RDF/ for details).

     The widget itself provides a simple user interface for specifying
     the URL of a news source, and controlling the downloading of news.

     The widget downloads and parses the XML asynchronously, feeding the
     data to an XML reader in pieces. This allows the user to interrupt
     its operation, and also allows very large data sources to be read.

         list view widget. The line edit is used for entering the URLs of news
         sources; the push button starts the process of reading the
         news.
