I'm using Gnucash 1.8.8 on PowerPC debian testing.

It seems that a date entered as "4/1/04" is considered different from 
"4/1/2004".  The first is displayed just as I wrote it, but the second is 
printed in the window as "4/1/20".

What is really odd is that when I started up Gnucash today, and opened a window 
to put some transactions in, there was an empty transaction waiting to receive 
data that had the date "4/1/04" - so Gnucash knew what day it was, but after I 
entered it, it was sorted in the table to before all of my transactions where I 
had entered "2004" as the date.

What's the right way to enter dates in Gnucash, so it really has the right date? 
  My transaction dates aren't consistent right now.  I can go fix them so 
they're all the same way, but I need to know what the right format is.

Thanks!

Mike
