This works fine, which is good enough.  Though, as I recreate my 
subsriptions, I'm reminded that the "http://" that is put in the 
subscription text field is a little annoying -- I have to delete it and 
then repaste (on X, I suppose on Windows or Mac it wouldn't be as bad).

Huh... I get a segfault.  That's annoying.  It appears to be when I 
access the title in the subscription to 
http://apple.slashdot.org/slashdot.rss

Oh well, it's all working anyway.  Thanks again.
