[GNC] Transaction Entry Confirmation

[Derek Atkins]

NB: If the cursor is still in the current transaction, then it was not
committed.  If the cursor moves to a different transaction, it has been
committed.  In either case, GnuCash will not let you close the register
window if you have non-committed changes.

PS: If you want the feature, patches are always welcome!  :)
