Review request for Calligra.


Description
-------

This patch adds an extra pane to the startup screen that shows the latest news from the calligra.org and krita.org feeds. I'm hesitating to propose this for 2.4, because of the feature freeze... But I still wanted the patch out for comments. It's not polished yet: the html could be better styled, the feed urls taken from a config file and the whole pane could be made optional.

I use QTextView, not QWebView, because QWebView would drag in all of webkit -- but this means that images aren't supported.

The code for getting and parsing the feeds comes from Qt Creator, which, ironically, doesn't use it anymore in its latest version. It's LGPL, so that should be fine.

I think it can help to connect users to our communities by getting our news out to them, but it also has the disadvantage that we'll track every time the open pane is used, which some users might find offensive.
