Use of hidden accounts.

[David T.]

Adam--

Your understanding WRT hidden accounts is right for the account tree, wrong for
the dropdown box (AFAIK). I reported in
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=397135 the problem with hidden
accounts still displaying in account dropdown boxes. That bug is still open, so
I don't think the behavior has changed in 2.2 (I'm using 2.0.5). I'll note that
my workaround has been to change the account to a placeholder account, which
hides the account in the dropdown list.
