The following code updates the frame and the tool bar, but I think it
is too expensive (and maybe irritating for the user) because it
affects the whole frame, not only the tool bar.  Is it possible to
limit redrawing to the tool bar?

(defun rs-redraw ()
  (redraw-frame (selected-frame)))

(with-current-buffer gnus-group-buffer
  (add-to-list
   (make-local-variable 'post-command-hook)
   'rs-redraw))

Bye, Reiner.
