Yes, that's exactly what I do.  Unfortunately, if you don't do it quite often
enough you're screwed and have to restart your entire XEmacs session.

There are enough of use with this problem that you'd think someone, somewhere
would try to run it down.  I'd try to look into but I have no idea where to
begin.  In case this helps, since upgrading to 21.4.3 and the latest
packages, I can make this happen consistently if I just do the following:

1) Start XEmacs.
2) C-x f .emacs
2) C-x 5 b
3) M-x gnus in the new frame

The only way I can successfully start gnus is if I start gnus from the
initial frame and create my additional frames only after gnus is up and
running.
