Since I contributed much of the latest changes to the account-summary, I 
have some of the answers:

Yes. grib should know more about the signs than I do, but to me it seems 
that *all* signs are reversed. Maybe the semantics of 
gnc:account-get-balance were misunderstood or need to be changed.

Yes. The # of subaccounts levels were added approx. 5 days ago, and the 
correct interaction with the account picker is definitly on my todo list. 
I agree that the default for the account picker should be that all 
accounts are selected.

Yes. Sorting is an issue, and I would like to add a sort options to the 
parameters. Sort by ... account number, date, name, whatever.

The latter sentence is just right. It does change something, though. If 
you activate "show foreign currencies", the report-currency is the [only] 
one that appears in the very last column. Although there is no exchange 
rate calculation yet.

Funny thing. My top level accounts contain nothing but subaccounts either 
:-)
