I set this to "t". Most of my levels are higher than the default
activate level of 1 so "g" doesn't "get" them and my gnus start at level
1 doesnt either.
I then did a "C-u 5 g" to get all my news.
The value of gnus-group-use-permanent-levels was then set by gnus to
,----
| gnus-group-use-permanent-levels is a variable defined in `gnus.el'.
| Its value is 5
|
| Documentation:
| *If non-nil, once you set a level, Gnus will use this level.
`----
I would then expect, if I am reading the manual properly, "g" to get from
all levels up to and including 5. It doesnt appear to.
Am I misunderstanding its usage?

I think it only applies to listing groups and such? But I'm not sure...

It seems to apply to running gnus again too when its still open. . e.g
start Gnus, nothing fetches since all are level > 1 and the activate
level is 1. Then C-u 5 g. Fetches all.
Then (gnus) : fetches again. "g" should also IMO.
There are a few confusing discrepancies with regards to activate levels
IMO but overrall a great feature.
