I'll investigate further, for now customize works so much better on
GNU Emacs that it seems better to do the customizations there instead
of XEmacs (just like the old days :-( ).

I just figured that out.  It's futile to try to define new faces in
customize, but if you put defface declarations in your .gnus, it all
works out quite nicely. :-)

I suppose (being a fan of olvwm) I have no excuse for being confused.
I found hitting `Set Default' and `Apply' worked.

Yup.

I have a customized Gnus again, I'm happy :-)
