As a different approach than the javascript snippet I posted earlier, we 
could create a mimetype. (application/nautilus-rss?) and simply make 
small xml files like:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<rss_news_channels>
  <rss_channel name="Advogato" 
uri=http://advogato.org/rss/articles.xml"; 
<http://advogato.org/rss/articles.xml> show="false" open="false"/>
</rss_news_channels>

and put a handler within Nautilus that would add these to the news feed 
file.  You could do personal or global install and it would use a suid 
helper app to install globally after prompting for root password.
