Unable to use gnus on a nox build

[James Cloos <cloos@jhcloos.com>]

I occasionally run gnus on a remote server.  That server runs debian and
the emacs-snapshot-nox package from http://emacs.orebokech.com.

Gnus there is as merged to emacs' trunk branch.

The current snapshot version is emacs-snapshot-nox_20101024-1_i386.deb.

Gnus on that version fails because the variables image-checkbox-checked &
image-checkbox-checked do not exist, emacs having been built w/o a gui.

I added a pair of setq-defaults to .emacs there, setting those two vars
to nil, to try to get gnus to start.

But that fails with:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable image-load-path)
  image-search-load-path("gnus/toggle-subscription.xpm")
  gmm-image-load-path-for-library("gnus" "gnus/toggle-subscription.xpm" nil t)

  gnus(nil)

Gnus shouldn't screw around with toolbars on a nox emacs build.

Toolbar is not an option for gnus-visual, so that won't disable them.

And I do not see anything else in gnus' customize which might be
relevant.

Is there an option I'm missing?

This bug showed up in the previous emacs-snapshot; I wanted to check
whether it persisted to a second snapshot before reporting it.

(I might add that I do not want or use toolbars or menus in my gui
sessions either; there I use Xdefaults to disable them.)
