In normal circumstances, you can't close the accounts tab. But due to a bug 
[1] in the window logic of GnuCash, you can end up with a window with no 
accounts tab in it.

I do agree that in the current GnuCash concept it makes sense to ensure there 
is always an accounts tab open somewhere.

[1] https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=436479 deals with a slightly 
different bug, but it does explain as well how you can get into a situation 
with no accounts tab open.
