Any Interest in Configurable Imbalance name

[David T.]

If you change the split to use a different account, it disappears from the
Imbalance-* account. If you do this with ALL the Imbalanced transactions, the
Imbalance-* account will be empty, and you will not get the question about what
to do with remaining transactions in the account. The dialog on an empty
account reads slightly differently, if you look closely. 

Besides, you can always heed the dialog and move the transactions to a
different account instead of deleting the transactions (maybe 'Not Balanced
Transactions'   ;)  ). The dialog defaults to this anyhow. 

If the dialog pops up, it means you still have transactions that have an
Imbalance split--and the transactions WILL get deleted. Keep in mind that the
Imbalance split might be an empty one. I have had transactions with empty
Imbalance lines in them, which turn up in Imbalance-*. You won't want to delete
the account until they are all cleared up.
