Newsbeuter D-BUS

Newsbeuter D-BUS (yeah, I couldn’t think of a name) is a little daemon providing an interface for Gnome applications to add feed URLs to  Newsbeuter’s urls file.

To use it, download it

Make it executable, and run it. You probably want to run it in the background, and from your ~/.Xsession or whatever file you customise your X startup with these days:

/path/to/newsbeuter_dbus.py &
