Paycheck Imbalance

Hi,
I just started using gnucash a couple weeks ago, so today was the first
time I tried entering a paycheck. I followed the help tutorial on
entering it as a split transaction, and everything looks like it
balanced out (the amount in my checking account matches what gnucash
says it should be.) When I went back to the list of accounts, though, I
now have an imbalance account with a negative amount for the amount of
the paycheck, and the same negative amount in the salary income account.
Is this the way it is supposed to work? I thought the Income:Salary
account was a special account with an infinite supply of money that was
only there so you have a source for double entry. Why should I care how
much less money my employer has?
