No, there was no discussion about it.  Feel free to reorder them to be
consistent with the register.  However remember that for non-HBCI imports, the
second column is currently the source account (it's hidden for HBCI).  Anyway
you will see it if you hack the glade file.

That is similar to my original idea:  Make all trasactions where the user made a
manual change white, but I couldn't get the logic right.  Making them white when
simply clicked to flag is a good idea.  But exactly in which case would you flag
them?  Actions you take can get you back to "red" (skip transaction or no match
selected to reconcile)  I suppose what would be appropriate would be to make a
transaction "white" when clicked and it would otherwise be green.

What do you think?  (And when exactly is the next release, I only go back home
tommorow.)
