Wow -- I did not know this, but it explains why my balance sheet and
income statement sometimes miss accounts. (With the income statement in
particular, I run it only at the end of the year, so any accounts could
have been added almost a whole year ago, and I wouldn't remember when I
added them.)

I select accounts for my saved reports in what seems like a sensible
way: all Income And Expense accounts for the income statement, and all
Assets, Liabilities, and Equities for the balance sheet.

I don't know how hard this would be to do, but it would be nice if GC
would keep track in a saved report of how accounts were selected. If the
selection was by a hierarchy rather than individual accounts, GC could
then automatically include all accounts within that hierarchy when
running the saved report.
