The new newsticker doesn't show my feeds

[Tassilo Horn]

Hi all,

since the latest changes to newsticker I cannot read my feeds anymore.
My config (which worked fine with the old newsticker) is as follows:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(autoload 'w3m-region "w3m"
  "Render region in current buffer and replace with result." t)

(setq newsticker-url-list
      '(;; Emacs

      newsticker-html-renderer 'w3m-region
      newsticker-cache-filename "~/.emacs.d/newsticker-cache"
      newsticker-automatically-mark-items-as-old nil)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Now, when I do `M-x newsticker-show-news' a new frame pops up [1]
showing three windows containing the buffers "*Newsticker Tree*",
"*Newsticker List*" and "*Newsticker Item*".  In the echo area I can see
that my feeds are fetched.

The first window (buffer "*Newsticker Tree*") contains the propertized
text

[X] Feeds
[X] Virtual Feeds

but no feeds.  Hitting RET on these [X] makes them [+], but still no
feeds are shown.  The "*Newsticker List*" buffer has a header line
containing Date and Title, but no contents.  The "*Newsticker Item*"
buffer is empty.

What am I missing?

Bye,
Tassilo

[1] Can this be deactivated?  I'd like to use the current frame.
