 /*
 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.

 /*
     Constructs an RSSListing widget with a simple user interface, and sets
     up the XML reader to use a custom handler class.

     The user interface consists of a line edit, two push buttons, and a
     list view widget. The line edit is used for entering the URLs of news
     sources; the push buttons start and abort the process of reading the
     news.
