Comment:

 I took a stab at this.

 This first patch (19239.3.diff) was just me removing all
 wp_dashboard_primary & wp_dashboard_secondary code, to get a feel for how
 all of this works.

 With 19239.4.diff:

 - I combined "WordPress Blog" and "Other WordPress News" into a single
 widget (dashboard_rss)
 - If title is left blank, I removed the code that tried to populate it
 from the RSS feed.  The user would have had to manually remove the title
 intentionally (as it's set for each feed by default).

 Please let me know if you have any code suggestions, or if you see any
 bugs.

 A couple of options I could pursue at this point:

 A) Provide a way for users to add/remove feeds through the UI.[[BR]]
 B) Bring the "Plugins" widget over to this new RSS widget as well.

 Let me know your thoughts on either of those.
