To reiterate, you can change the sense of the labels in one of the
preferences dialogs. This works today, and it seems to be enough
in more or less all cases.  Is there a case where this isn't enough?

I beleive Dave is adding something like this is being added to gnucash-1.7.  
You'll be able to specify which columns appear, in what order, what's

infrastructure has been there a long long time, just the last step of getting
the config info at runtime from some config file was never implemented.
