Here's the solution:

**********************************************************************
(defun gnus-frame-defaults ()
  (mapc 'make-variable-frame-local
         '(height width menu-bar-lines tool-bar-lines vertical-scroll-bars))
  (modify-frame-parameters '() '((height . 40)
                                 (width . 136)
                                 (menu-bar-lines . 1)
                                 (tool-bar-lines . 1)
                                 (vertical-scroll-bars . 1))))
(add-hook 'gnus-group-mode-hook 'gnus-frame-defaults)
**********************************************************************

I am writing this now in a fully-tooled, fully-scrolled and
menu-ridden frame.  My other frames are untouched.

Thanks for your help,
Joel
