For the first-time use case we have the "Do you want to subscribe to
some podcasts now?" message box on startup, and we should probably add a
button/text info to the empty podcast list (e.g. "Click here to
subscribe to podcasts...").
The specific problem with the URL entry box currently is that when it's
enabled and the user selects the menu entry, the box is just focused,
which might not be enough to gain the user's attention.
