Exactly.  There seems no way of changing the default values from the
GUI.  I've found out the the reports are in
/usr/share/gnucash/scm/report/ (this is on Debian unstable), but I'm
afraid of hacking the files directly.  Besides, there should be a way
for the user of changing these values or am I missing something.

Yeah, I just realized this.  However, when I use the window manager
"close" button, gnucash asks me to save unsaved data, as I would expect
it.  Couldn't the saving of recent information be handled there, too.

BTW, is http://bugs.gnumatic.com/ the official place to report bugs for
gnucash and associated programs?  The site doesn't seem to be very
active and I couldn't find the open bug you've mentioned there.

No hurry, I wouldn't call the graph creation zippy on my system in any
case, and I fear that making them live would slow things down much more
