BTW gnus uses M-g too in summary and group buffers.

I don't see any need to have the bindings for goto-line, next-error
and previous-error available in Gnus Group buffers.
(I think we already discussed this when M-g was changes in Emacs.)
Bye, Reiner.

This was discussed at the time Emacs adopted the M-g prefix, and I think
the conclusion was that it's not a big deal -- though it's too ingrained /
important a binding to change in Gnus, people are not that likely to want
to use the M-g prefix while reading news/mail.
