trees are cool, but sometimes they're more cool than other times

Hmm, Lars, it would be nice if I could specify that if the tree was just one
or two articles long to just hide the tree buffer. 

Hmm, does anyone have any good way to vary the window configuration based on
the group or other characteristics?  Note that I don't think this would be a
good replacement for the above suggestion.  I'm thinking I may want only the
tree in some buffers and only the summary in others.

I think that might be even more confusing than it currently is...

You can add random elisp forms to the buffer configuration.  This is
the default value of the `article' config:

(gnus-add-configuration 
    '(article
     (cond 
      (gnus-use-picons
       '(frame 1.0
	       (vertical 1.0
			 (summary 0.25 point)
			 (if gnus-carpal '(summary-carpal 4))
			 (article 1.0))
	       (vertical '((height . 5) (width . 15)
			   (user-position . t)
			   (left . -1) (top . 1))
			 (picons 1.0))))
      (gnus-use-trees
       '(vertical 1.0
		  (summary 0.25 point)
		  (tree 0.25)
		  (article 1.0)))
      (t
       '(vertical 1.0
		 (summary 0.25 point)
		 (if gnus-carpal '(summary-carpal 4))
		 (if gnus-use-trees '(tree 0.25))
		 (article 1.0)))))

Just add checks for group names (or whatever).  Go wild.  :-)
