How about: You don't seem to have Gnus configured, or the server nntp+news could not be opened. Would you like to (q)uit or go (o)ffline or (r)ead the Gnus manual?

I don't think that's easy to achieve, and I can't even guess what a good solution might be. My window manager (StumpWM) lets me go to a window or start it if it's not there; I thus have a `C-t g' binding to run a Emacs Gnus window named "gnus" or go to the running one. A generic solution would be a lot harder. Ted
