reconcile workflow

[Anthony Dardis]

When reconciling eg a checkbook account, GC asks for the account closing  
date, guesses an ending balance, and allows you to put in your own ending  
balance. Suppose you first put in an ending balance and don't change the  
offered closing date (today, I think). Then check off transactions so that  
the account balances to your statement. Then you realize you want to  
change the closing date. You postpone the reconcile, start it again, then  
put in the correct closing date. GC will then guess an ending balance  
again, overwriting the entry you put in the first time. Then (unless you  
already know about this) you will be confused: the account was balanced,  
but it's not balanced any more, since the closing balance has changed.

Recommendation: if the user enters a closing balance, don't overwrite it.
