While composing a message in gnus I inadvertangly hit the keys that shut down my X server (I manage to that every so often ;-( .) I restarted the server and then emacs. I issued the command M-x gnus to go back to gnus, but I was told "unable to open server nntp+news" Nothing has changed in my ~/.gnus file, and I can ping my primary and secondary news servers. I did M-x gnus-bug and got the following debug: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Gnus has been shut down") signal(error ("Gnus has been shut down")) error("Gnus has been shut down") gnus-bug() call-interactively(gnus-bug t nil) execute-extended-command(nil) call-interactively(execute-extended-command nil nil) recursive-edit() byte-code("\306 this was followed by a lot of byte code that won't past here becasue I'm using mutt in a terminal to write this. Thereafter when I try to do M-x gnus-bug M-x set-variable RET debug-on-error RET t RET nothing happens except in the emacs minibuffer gnus tells me: "unable to open server" or sometimes it says "please wait while we snoop your variables..." and eventually gives up.
