That does indeed seem to help a bit. Thanks.

I have gnus-kill-summary-on-exit set to t and I like the way it works.

No, I seem to still get problems. I cannot figure out a useful setup
where I can look at several messages in the same group; the buffers
seem to come and go in strange and wonderful ways when I select a new
message in the summary buffer.

It is not a major concern, though. Usually it is sufficient to read
one message at a time.
