	This could be because the default mode lines use %%b, which
lets emacs put in the buffer name.  Since Gnus doesn't look at that
when truncating the line, you have to add a large constant to the
gnus-mode-non-string-length.  My solution has been to take %%b out of
the mode lines (since the emacs-added portion contains the mode name),
and use the following display-time-hook:

(add-hook 'display-time-hook
	  (lambda () (setq gnus-mode-non-string-length 
			   (+ 15
			      (length display-time-string)
			      (length mode-name)
			      (length mode-line-process) 
			      (if line-number-mode 5 0)
			      (if column-number-mode 4 0)))))
