Double-click on the transaction in the transaction matcher that you want to
change and it will bring up the account-picker dialog box, just like when
you set the account the first time. It doesn't have to be yellow for it
work.

Alright, I needed to do this the other day and absolutely couldn't.  In my
Windows XP SP3 GnuCash 2.4.11 install, I definitely cannot double-click to
modify the linked account when it isn't yellow and I am importing from an
OFX file.  I tried again today, with multiple transaction types.  One of the
types had an unbalanced entry and I could change it, but not the other entry
of the same type.  Can anyone else with Windows confirm they can do this?
Note I haven't gone so far as to test with QFX files, so I'd rather get
confirmation on the OFX side (while I'm much less worried about the version
of Windows, and I'm pretty sure I had this issue even on GnuCash 2.4.9).
