| This doesn't work. GnuCash tracks the account even after a rename.

The OFX/QFX file identifies the security by the UNIQUEID tag in the
SECID node.  The OFX/QFX importer matches that to the 'online_id' slot of an
account in GnuCash.  I don't see a way to modify an account's
online_id in the UI.  At your own risk, you could modify the gnucash
file manually if you need to.  (always make backup copies if you do!)
