This opens the account and all (including zero) child accounts in journal mode. This could be changed so the menu item is only active if a child has sub-accounts, but it complicates the code. Especially in the budget page where you can select multiple accounts at once.

Personally, I would prefer this to be > aligned to the top. All the vertical alignments are set to 'center'. The reason this looks funny is the names are a single line of text, and the descriptions are two lines (with the second line being empty). If you remove the carriage return from the end of your description you'll see what I mean. Chris, I don't know what you want to do here. Keep the user description formatted exactly as input (minus any trailing carriage return) or always reformat the text. > - Also, at the moment the splash screen is displayed _behind_ the > active window This seems to be a window manager thing. I never had an issue with using FC3, but when using FC4 the splash always appears behind the active window. (Not just gnucash, but other apps as well.) IIRC, this change was made to prevent popup windows from getting keystrokes meant for the active application. I've tried changing the code a couple of different ways and can't find one that puts the splash screen on top on my FC4 system.
