or one could fix the toolbars in Akrgator to be more sensible, e.g.:

New Feed:
	i hate that word "Feed" btw, it's total jargon; how about "Add News Source"?
	if it wasn't for akregator-in-kontact, i'd even suggest removing this from 
the toolbar altogether

Fetch Feed:
	Check for Updates

Fetch All Feeds ... hur what? no, mimic KMail here: have one button with a 
drop down that lists the individual feeds in it, and have the default click 
action to be all feeds

Abort Fetches: wtf? the stop button at the bottom of the window and a menu 
entry  is enough .... this does *not* belong in a tool bar

What is This: another wtf. this so does not belong in the toolbar.

that would leave us with:

Add News Source
Check for Updates

i assume that even in german that would fit ;)
