But I do use the RSS widget for displaying internal category feeds (didn't find any other way to display latest posts from specific categories) and would rather have them without the link in the title that also in this case goes to / (and without the RSS icon). If I could choose I would like the title to link to the category page I draw the feed from.

@timethief: I do know how to set the title, but I don't know how to set the link in the title. That's my problem. A good solution would be to have a title without a link, but that, as described above, doesn't seem to be possible.

@absurdoldbird: It is the RSS feed widget I want, not the RSS links widget. The main question here is how to display an external RSS feed with a title that links to the feed (or the site where the feed comes from), not the start page of my blog!

Thanks for your answers!

There are two.

See > http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/rss-widget/ and note the we bloggers enter the optional title. "Give the feed a title – Set the title displayed above the feed items."

I find it strange when the title of a displayed external feed links back to the site you're already viewing...
