[GNC] Reconcile also opens Interest Payment box?

[John Ralls]

Would it cause you any pain to enter the interest transaction in the register before clicking reconcile instead?

I want to add to that opinion that so is the payment transfer that optionally pops up when one finishes reconciling a credit card account. It's a lot of program complexity that relieves the user of very little work indeed: Those interest and payment transactions can just as easily--maybe more easily--be created in the register before and after reconciling, and in the case of interest they're an obvious candidate for a scheduled transaction.

I want to get that out of the way up front: Who here objects to removing the interest and payment transfer automatic popups and the interest payment button on the reconcile info dialog, and what compelling reason do you have for objecting?
