Yes, but, Autoclear doesn't need an account any more than reconcile
needs one. Both gnc_plugin_page_register_cmd_reconcile and
gnc_plugin_page_register_cmd_autoclear call
gnc_plugin_page_register_get_account to get the account to work on.
This may return a null pointer if the register doesn't have a clearly
defined account (e.g. search results), but it works as well for one
caller as for the other. Reconcile calls recnWindow to do the real work
and it checks for a null account and returns immediately if given one.
The corresponding autoclear method is autoClearWindow and it doesn't
check for a null account pointer.
It seems to me that if we fix autoClearWindow to check for a null
account and hook up the menu item in the register window things should
work fine. I can do that unless someone knows why it's a bad idea.

Having said that, when we type into the blank entry it knows which

From my understanding, this code is not hooked up to the register
because: a register is always a search list, and not necessarily tied
to an account. Proof: the blank transaction register entry has no
account.
I gather the original coder noticed the same, therefore didn't hook
it.
