You'll probably need to provide a little more background here before
anyone can help you. I understand that you want Gnus' topic mode to
behave differently than it does, but the whole thing has its own logic,
and changing one bit of that general logic to serve a particular
use-case that you haven't really explained isn't going to motivate
anyone to apply your patch. Not to mention that the patch stands a good
chance of breaking other people's customizations. I previously suggested
you use the gnus-topic-mode-hook to achieve what you want -- did you try
that?
