Is it possible to visually separate the pane from the rest of the left pane? It looks like it is part of the "custom document" options. Maybe have the pane take the whole width of the dialog?

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.
