Hmm, to avoid naming confusion, I think you want to have 
"equity" accounts be marked as type "equity", not "bank".
In partiucular, this will help when you go to generate a report. 

(Note, the opening balance of a bank account should be represented
as a transfer from 'equity' to the bank. All other transfers
to/from the bank should be to income/expense/asset/etc accounts)
