KNewsTicker should be removed from the module, I think it would be fine if it 
owuld be replaced with a little applet (pardon, 'Plasmoid' is en vogue at the 
moment, right?) which can somehow synchronize it's state with akregator (so 
that when I click on an article in KNT it gets marked as 'read' in akregator 
as well, and so that the two show articles form the same news sites).

I do have a perfectly appropriate scrolltext widget already, but I don't know 
how to tie that to akregator (I don't want to start akregator just to have 
the little news ticker so that I can monitor tagesschau.de :-). Maybe Akonadi 
would be useful here, but I don't really know what that is all about.
