gnus got lazy all of a sudden.

[Fredrik Bulow]

Hi!

I've been using GNUS for about two weeks to read my mail, new and
favourite RSS feeds.

When I start GNUS, it used to check for new mail, news and RSS and
display the number of new messages next to the group. One day it
ceased to do this for news, it still fetches mail and rss like it
should, but if I want to check for new news I must go to the
group. Instead of seeing the number of new messages next to news
groups, I see an '*'. After visiting and exiting the group this as
been replaced by the number for new messages.

The 'g' key in the *Groups* buffer also ignores news but gets rss and
mail.

Here is my current .gnus file.
