 I am still running gnucash-2.2.9-5.el5 because that is what I can find
for my distribution.

I have both of them in my list of accounts. Both have zero-balance. But
since I did not explicitly create them, they must have turned up at one
time or another, and I forget which is which. Sometimes I know I get one
of them (Imbalance?) when I do a split transaction and enter before I
finish all the parts of the split. But whatever the rules, sometimes it
uses one and sometimes the other.
