SUMMARY

If Akregator cannot fetch the feeds for some reason, such as with a misconfigured system proxy, the user will not know what precisely happened; all they'll see is that Akregator failed to fetch feeds. Having e.g. the same string that "kioclient5 cat <url>" shows somewhere in the UI could make it easier for users to remedy their problems.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use Firefox, which doesn't use the system proxy, for daily browsing
2. Set the system proxy to a SOCKS5 localhost ssh tunnel because you wanted to see some region blocked content in Chromium
3. Close the tunnel
4. Wtf why akregator no workie when firefox work?????? >:( >:( >:(

OBSERVED RESULT
Akregator shows a little "x" icon for each failed feed, but no info beyond that.

EXPECTED RESULT
Akregator yells at me for not being able to connect to the proxy.
