	I think you want to load gnus-setup in your .emacs file long
before you start/load gnus.

	On the other hand, I don't know the real answer either, but I
put the following in my .emacs init file.  The clearing is useful to
make sure you don't call anything which might hit old autoloads (in
particular into gnus-scomo.el caused by gnus-bbdb) which can cause old
broken 5.2 code to override new working rgnus code.  Anyways, the
clearing code is optional. :) But if you use it, do it before you load
the current gnus.


;;; Ok, lets clear out all of the normal xemacs gnus autoloads, and then
;;; load gnus-setup.el.  So that rgnus has a clean start environment.
(mapc (lambda (x) (fmakunbound (intern x)))
      (all-completions "" obarray
		       (lambda (sym)
			 (and (fboundp sym)
			      (eq (car-safe (symbol-function sym)) 'autoload)
			      (let ((file (cadr (symbol-function sym))))
				(string-match
				 (mapconcat 'identity
					    '("^gnus-"
					      "^gnus$"
					      "^message$"
					      "^nnfolder$"
					      "^nnkiboze$"
					      "^nnml$"
					      "^nnsoup$"
					      "^smiley$"
					      )
					    "\\|")
				 file))))))

(setq gnus-use-tm nil)
(setq gnus-use-sc nil)
(setq gnus-use-mailcrypt nil)
(require 'gnus-setup)
