The `gnus-demon-init' is not needed. `gnus-demon-add-handler' calls it
already. Your code 1) adds a new handler, 2) kills all old handlers and
initializes them anew (gnus-demon-init), and then does 2) again.

Looking at the docs
,----[ (info "(gnus)Daemons") ]
| If IDLE is `t', then the function will be called after TIME minutes
| only if Emacs is idle. So if Emacs is never idle, the function will
| never be called. But once Emacs goes idle, the function will be called
| every TIME minutes.

Hm, reading that statement, I'd say that your code would check every 15
minutes if emacs is idle, and if so, call `gnus-group-get-new-news'.
But looking at the code
(gnus-demon-add-handler 'gnus-group-get-new-news 15 t)
is equivalent to
(gnus-demon-add-handler 'gnus-group-get-new-news 15 15)
,----[ (info "(gnus)Daemons") ]
| If IDLE is a number and TIME is a number, the function will be
| called every TIME minutes only when Emacs has been idle for IDLE
| minutes.
`----
So your code will call `gnus-group-get-new-news' every 15 minutes after
emacs has been idle for at least 15 minutes. That's pretty seldomly, I
guess...
So what's wrong? Code, documentation, or my understanding of the code?
Bye,
Tassilo
