Well, it may be a while since you've done this... but I backed up and
started over.  Following the wizard to get started.  I just accepted
the default accounts..
Followed along with the guide.

Then added my bank1 account.  When importing this time I see gnucash
has correctly guessed all of them.

One thing I stumbled over though is how to start over once you've
alread had a bad start.

I tried rm 'ing .gnucash and the save directory.  Then start gnucash but
the guide doesn't come up.  I get a dialog telling me it can't find
the stuff I just rm'ed.  Where is it keeping that info.

Erk... I just noticed the HBIsetup under help.  ...
