[GNC] Reconcile also opens Interest Payment box?

[Adrien Monteleone]

Thanks Jean,

I filed bug: https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797854 for the 
issue with the global preference not being honored.

And bug: https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797855 for the button 
issue on the two dialogs.

Feel free to combine them if you like. I wasn't sure of developers' 
intent with the global preference, so I filed them separately.

Regards,
Adrien
