Well, the old version of `gnus-buffer-configuration' wasn't recursive,
which is why is was confusing.  :-)

(I've gone back to calling it `gnus-buffer-configuration' since the
new format is (mostly) a generalization of the old format.  The old
format should work with the new function, I hope.)

(gnus-configure-frame
  '(horizontal 1.0
    (vertical 10
      (group 1.0)
      (article 0.3 point))
    (vertical 1.0
      (horizontal 4
        (article 1.0)
        (group 10))
      (horizontal 1.0
        (group 1.0)
        (article .5)))))

Both the group buffer and the article buffer is here displayed
thrice, as you can see.

Just `C-x C-e' at the end of that form and be amused.

Despite the name and the documentation, multiple frames are still not
supported.  They will be in the next release.
