Sorry I was not clearer. I understand there are commands to restore
previous window layout, but my interest was for it to be automatic, so
that for example when I close gnus, emacs returns automatically to the
prior windows layout. It would even be nice to return automatically to
the the prior buffers displayed in those windows.

I suspect the answer to somehow to add a hook to gnus quit that
automatically runs (defun reload ()), perhaps calling back most recent
buffers for those windows.
