GnuCash security symbol incompatible with financeQuote

[gnucash_noob_22237]

I agree, FinanceQuote reacts perfectly well when presented with the correct
symbol.

The problem I still can't overcome is how to get GnuCash to present
FinanceQuote with the correct symbol for this security. I tried to create a
new security with symbol "BTEM.L" but GnuCash will not let me continue until
I give a "Type". Say I choose "LSE", for example. I am not allowed to leave
it empty.

Now, when I go to the price editor and click "Get Quotes", I see:
"Unable to retrieve quotes for these items: LSE:L.BTEM".

This is what I was referring to. How can I remove the "LSE:" part? Or how
can I override this default behaviour by which GnuCash enforces the FQ
request to be formatted like "X:Y" ?
