Can Kontact Summary display RDF feeds & KOrganizer Summa

Hi, I'm running SuSE 9.0 with KDE 3.2 and use Kontact a lot. I like the Summary part a lot and would like to extend it a bit. Does anybody know how/whether Kontact can be configured to display RDF-feeds ( e.g. http://www.kde.org/dotkdeorg.rdf ) in Summary?

Furthermore, does anybody know how/whether Kontact can be configured to include the KOrganizer Summary (What's Next), so I can see the next entries in my calender and To-do list.

TIA

Re: Can Kontact Summary display RDF feeds & KOrganizer S

Btw. I have already selected the Calendar and Todo List in
Settings -> Configure Kontact -> Select components, but this does not work. Is there anything else that I should do?

For the RDF part, I think it is already possible. I've successfully added the osnews.com feed to Summary and it is a RDF feed (http://www.osnews.com/files/recent.rdf).
Be different. Think.

Thank you very much for your replies. I tried fixing it in KDE 3.2, but that didn't work: Kontact did not remember the RDF-feeds added to the summary and only appointments were displayed.

After updating to KDE 3.2.1, however, everything worked perfectly. (Displaying the KOrganizer is not implemented, but now that this works I don't really need it any more.)

Thanks again,

Well, open Kontact, then click on the Summary button. Then Settings->Configure. There is the news sources setup. Click on Add and enter the URL and the number of headlines you want to see.
