No, but i've got knews now to the point where i can use it `one-hand'
(i.e. with almost the same keyboard shortcuts as trn).  Still, the X11
interface often provides for more whistles and bells once i need it,
like getting a very quick overview of a newsgroup by using the
scrollbar.

And, compared to other X11 implementations like xrn or (ick!) Netcrap,
it's a very decent newsreader.
