I have my windows configured thus:

    (setq gnus-window-configuration
	  '((SelectNewsgroup (1 4 0))
	    (ExitNewsgroup   (1 0 0))
	    (SelectArticle   (1 2 9))
	    (ExpandSubject   (1 4 0))))

This provides a 3-window environment when reading articles.  The
problem I find is that the *Newsgroup* buffer is not maintained with
the current group displayed.  In my usual environment (a 63-line X10
emacs), the *Newsgroup* buffer is normally 4 lines long.  After
reading the 4th newsgroup and entering the 5th, the *Newsgroup* buffer
shows nothing more than, for example,
      0: gnu.emacs
      0: gnu.gcc
      0: gnu.gcc.bug
      0: gnu.utils.bug
even though I've gone down into, say, comp.emacs.  This makes the
3-window configuration very close to useless - if it won't keep up
with me, why bother.  Is this behavior intentional, or is there a
known fix?
