Cannot open load file: tool-bar

[Thomas Hungenberg <th@demonium.de>]

Hi!

I'm using Oort Gnus 0.06 with XEmacs 21.4 on Debian Linux which
normally works fine. Now I wanted to debug a configuration problem and
therefore added (setq debug-on-signal t) to my ~/.gnus.

When restarting Gnus, it stopped with a signal complaining about not
being able to load "tool-bar". So I tried to find the part of the
configuration responsible for this error and finally cut down my
~/.gnus until it only contained the following:

,----[ .gnus ]
| (setq debug-on-signal t)
| (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news"))
| (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnfolder "")))
`----

But even with this small configuration, Gnus still stops with the same
signal:

I tried Oort Gnus 0.07, but it has the same problems.

Why is "tool-bar" required in gnus-group.el missing?
Should it be part of the Gnus distribution?
