Probably.  Something like: wrap the treemodel in a treemodelfilter,
set the filter function to a function that returns (iter_type &&
(view_mask || old_type))  where:

  iter_type: is the account type of the current iter (it would be
easiest to do this inside gnc-tree-model-account-types in order to
access the iter directly.)

  view_mask: a mask of account types that you want always be visible
for that view.

  old_type: the type that you want to be visible even if it isn't in
the mask.

That's just off-the-cuff.  There are probably other ways to do it.

Is that what Eskil needs for dialog-account.c?
