I'd like to suggest that it be made more clear to Newbies that the
initial set of accounts aren't actually carved in stone, but are
actually quite quick and easy to revise.

The first time I tried to use GnuCash for my business, I didn't get a
satisfying set of accounts, so I put off using GnuCash for well over a
year while I worked out the precise set of accounts I was going to
need, so I could set them up that way when the initial account druid
ran.

Imagine my embarrassment when I discovered that I could have set up
any random set of accounts, then edited the account tree to be just
what I wanted in less than an hour.

I don't think putting this in the documentation would help.  It needs
to be made more explicit in the initial account druid.
