[GNC] Simultaneously changing the color of multiple accounts

[Chad Neeper]

*sigh*  Never mind. Self-answered. RTFM, right?

In chart of accounts, right-click a parent account and select "Cascade
Account Color". This could maybe be a little more intuitively implemented
(perhaps just a simple check-box option to cascade the color down to
sub-accounts when editing the color of any given account) but this current
implementation works quite well in at least my current version on Windows
once I found it.
