A bunch of issues (this is rather long)...

1) I tried the druid with an empty account-tree, and I got a bunch of
   warnings:

Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkcombo.c: line 849 (gtk_combo_set_popdown_strings): assertion `strings != NULL' failed.

2) The Interest Rate on the first page does not give enough decimal
   places.  I wanted to type in "6.375" but it doesn't let me.  Worse,
   it appears to be rounding my entry to the nearest .05% which is
   "poor".

3) It would be nice if the "periods remaining" defaulted to the whole
   loan, rather than "1".  I don't want to have to think about how
   many payments I have left.

4) on page 2: If I click on "... pay "Taxes"?", it auto-selects the
   "via Escrow account"..  If I deselect and select again, it does not
   do this.  Appears to be an initialization issue.  Same thing for
   Insurance, and PMI, but "Other Expense" does not appear to be
   affected.

5) Why is there a "finish" on the "We're about to do the following"
   page?

6) I clicked on "finish" here and received the following:

** CRITICAL **: file SX-ttinfo.c: line 340 (gnc_ttsplitinfo_set_account): assertion `ttsi && acc' failed.

** CRITICAL **: file SX-ttinfo.c: line 340 (gnc_ttsplitinfo_set_account): assertion `ttsi && acc' failed.
