I run screen, launch an emacs -daemon at some point, and then I open
multiple emacsclient -t instances inside screen. One of these instances
is just for Gnus, and I don't have the problem you describe. When
entering a group I have two windows, the summary buffer and the article
buffer. Following a link in the article buffer just causes that window
to be replaced with the w3m stuff.
