Thanks for your answer, Richard. Yes, I meant gnus-init-file :). I also
tried (setq gnus-init-fine "~/Dropbox/gnus/.gnus"). But then Gnus starts
downloading the list of newsgroups in the server, presumably because it
cannot find the other files where the suscribed groups are indicated.

I guess I could set some other variables and make it work somehow, but I
would always live in fear that there is still some other variable that
has to be tweaked and my setup would end up in a mess.. Besides, as I
mentioned, org 7.3 works just fine, but I would like to try the latest
and greatest features mentioned in this list.
