I'm not sure.  But look at the typical Emacs frame where you're running
Gnus, with the frame is divided into a summary window and an article
window.  Is there any space left for, e.g., a GDB session?  On my
machine, if the GDB session were to split the Gnus article window and
squeeze its windows in there, I wouldn't be able to see much in those
windows.
