Schedule Transactions only auto run on startup

[Dave H]

I also like to give my scheduled txns the once over.  I would be nice if
the "Review create transactions" option was a preference (I haven't found
it anywhere at least) that I could set on permanently and forget as
sometimes I click the OK button before clicking the checkbox and end up
inadvertantly dismissing the popup instead of reviewing the txns :-(

Cheers Dave H.
