g (gnus-group-get-new-news) doesn't honor the ARG for the virtual groups.

Hi, 

I have a virtual group at level 3 which contains two unsubscribed groups
at level 6.

When I hit "3 g" in group buffer the virtual group is not updated. If I
hit "6 g" it work but the unsubscribed groups are also shown in the
*group* buffer. 

So I am asking myself, how can I update only groups with levels <= 3,
virtual or not (nnimap in my case)?

Thanks, 
Vitalie.

If you add the nnimap server used for the two unsubscribed groups to
`gnus-secondary-select-methods', then things should work, I think.
