(load-file (expand-file-name ".gnus" (getenv "HOME")))
(setq 
 display-time-24hr-format t
 display-time-no-mail-balloon "What! No mail? That can't be right."
 display-time-mail-balloon-show-gnus-group t
 display-time-mail-balloon-max-displayed 20
 display-time-mail-balloon-gnus-split-width 19
 display-time-mail-balloon-enhance-gnus-group

(display-time)
(balloon-help-mode 1)
You need to load ~/.gnus first otherwise all you mail will look like
it's going into mail.misc from the balloon.
