I tried to send this yesterday, but it looks like it never made it.  Is 
something wrong with the list, or is my provider hosed?  (I get the list in 
digest form)

Greetings!

   I've been trying to run GNUCash 1.6.1+  (Whatever the head of the 1.6 
branch is) with the SQL backend.  I found an interesting bug.  With the SQL 
backend I cannot save the fact that I want to retrieve on-line quotes.  I 
can set "get online quotes" on and then retrieve the online quotes, but the 
fact that I want them and the source is always gone the next time I login. 
Is this a known bug/deficiency?  This is driving me nuts.  I'd be happy to 
fix this, but before I do, is this something already addressed in 1.7?  I 
note the note in the main Account.h that "the whole commodities 
infrastructure is changing radically"  I also note that there doesn't seem 
to be a database column for this flag in gncaccount or gnccommodity, though 
maybe I'm looking the wrong place.  Before I get to spunky, does anybody 
have some wisdom for me?
