Oh, I see.  Hm.  Yes, that's all wrong.

There's two bugs:

The code tries to find out what the length of the bits that arent the
mode string is, which is what `gnus-mode-non-string-length' means --
it's the length of the other bits that should be displayed (to the
right).  But that should be done dynamically, and not based on a
constant like 30.  I'm not sure how to fix that, though.

The second bug is that it pads the string before using it, and that's
totally meaningless.  I've now changed that (and pushed it out), while I
see whether there's a way to get at the actual length of the bits in the
mode line...
