I'm not sure whether this is a stupid question, a bug, or me being a
dumb blonde.

(After hitting `s' for save in the *topics* buffer, ie. assuming Gnus
thinks the *topics* buffer doesn't need saving) hitting `g' to reread
all groups does not change the `--/**' buffer modified indicator on
the mode-line.  Hitting M-g on top of a group does change it.  I've
observed this behavior long enough for it to be a feature, but I've
never been able to make any sense in the logic of it.

What the "**" really indicates is that there's been a change to the
dribble buffer.  Which is kinda confusing.  But `M-g' adds the change
to the dribble buffer, and `g' doesn't, which is what you're seeing
what you're seeing.  I'm not sure myself whether this is a feature or
a bug.

I've found knowing whether there is something in the
dribble buffer useful on a number of occasions.
