Interesting results...

I ran 'locate news' through less, and the results are:

/usr/local/share/mythtv/mythnews
/usr/local/share/mythtv/mythnews/news-sites.xml
/usr/local/share/mythtv/themes/blue/news.png
/usr/local/share/mythtv/themes/G.A.N.T./watermark/newspaper.png
/usr/local/share/mythtv/themes/isthmus/news_scroller.png
/usr/local/share/mythtv/themes/Minimalist-wide/news-ui.xml
/usr/local/share/mythtv/themes/MythCenter/watermark/news.png
/usr/local/share/mythtv/themes/Titivillus/news-ui.xml
/usr/local/share/mythtv/themes/Titivillus/watermark/news.png

Currently, I'm using G.A.N.T, which appears to be missing the 
news-ui.xml.  Let's see if Titivillus works...

Yep, that did it.  Checking some of the other plugins, such as mythgame, 
  I'm finding those missing as well in the other themes.
