Thanks for explaining!

As for switching to gnus, I replaced the defadvice with a lambda
function:

,----
| (global-set-key (kbd "<f6>") (lambda ()
|                                (interactive)
|                                (let ((buf (get-buffer "*Group*")))
|                                  (if buf
|                                      (switch-to-buffer buf)
|                                    (call-interactively 'gnus)
|                                    (gnus-demon-init)))))

I dislike frames. Never use any. :P
