I don't follow this logic, it should be the other way round, no? Having people 
review it when we *know* it's not ready doesn't sound useful :)

If newsticker still performs as horrible as it did in the beginning, it 
shouldn't be released at all. That might save us some bugreports "plasma chews 
up all my CPU time". The news and rss applets are well-behaving as far as I 
can see, so those should replace the newsticker applet, or the newsticker 
applet needs to be fixed. Hence CC:ing Frerich.

I'm planning to go through the theming support in the news applet, so moving 
it now to kdereview is a bit early (but it won't hold me from fixing the 
theming). I've already done some back- and forward-porting of stuff to have it 
in both applets (load feeds in the add feed combo from akregator, for 
example). The main showstopper for the newsapplet is the theming now.

I totally agree that the lack of an RSS applet is unacceptable and that we 
should do something about it :)
