problem in adding a placeholder stock account

I had started off with "New Account Heirarchy...", so there is already
a Stock account of type Stock and currency USD. Now, I am trying to
add another Stock account parallel to this account. Here is how it
will look:

Account Name                   Type               Commodity
-----------------------------------------------------------
Assets                         Asset              USD
  Investments                  Asset              USD
    Brokerage Account          Bank               USD
      Mutual Fund              Mutual Fund        USD
      Mutual Fund Test         Asset              USD
      Stock                    Stock              USD
      Stock Test               Asset              USD

A bit confusing to me.

Another minor inconvenience is that when new subaccounts are added to
the "Stock Test" account, the account type has to be changed to
"Stock" *before* selecting the security.

Then, maybe, the "New Account Heirarchy..." needs to be corrected to
avoid confusion.
