Yes.  As far as I can determine, there is no way with a GtkTreeView
widget to determine the cursor column location when the user performs a
single-click, only the cursor row location.  (Double-clicking does
provide column information.)  That meant I had to choose between a
single-click anywhere in the row activating the account selection
dialog, or using a double-click to activate the dialog.  Since the
typical gtk application behavior is that a single-click selects an item
and a double click activates an item, I chose to apply that same
behavior pattern here.  That's why it now takes a double-click to open
the account selection dialog.  BTW, a side effect of this change is that
you can now navigate the transaction matcher dialog with the keyboard.

Has a 2.0 documentation branch been pulled yet?  If so, I will update
the trunk version immediately.
