Date: Tue, 30 Aug 2011 01:13:38 -0800

,----[ C-h v gnus-directory RET ]
| <snip>
| Note that Gnus is mostly loaded when the `.gnus.el' file is read.
| This means that other directory variables that are initialized from
| this variable won't be set properly if you set this variable in `.gnus.el'.
| Set this variable in `.emacs' instead.
`----

Since the default for `gnus-directory' comes from `gnus-home-directory',
the same admonition applies to the latter variable, and should be added
to its docstring.
