Ah, that's very good, this fixes the bug.  Although I can't possibly
think of a _why_ this is happening -- which, sort of, explains "for
unexplained reasons"...  And you really don't see it when you mark
multiple rss-feeds and press "M-g"?  When I have only one feed to
update, I don't see it either.

But, I think I said it before: when emacs loses focus it doesn't
output this much (meaning a name of a feed stays in the minibuffer
while gnus is already updating other feeds).

Yes, it's faster, too.  But:

1) I don't get any output which states which feed gnus is
   updating (minor one).
2) If a feed doesn't succeed, gnus stops (bad).  Is there an option
   for this?

bye, Adam.
