[GNC] Missing 2nd entry

[Fred Tydeman]

I have now added a price and a dummy 2nd transaction (screen shot attached).
I use the "!" account for small rounding errors (this error is in the
brokerage statement, not my data entry).
Since this account is in COP, with about 4000 COP / 1 USD, the 342.72 COP
amounts to $0.09 USD.
Yet, if I look at the ! account (which is in USD), it shows up as $342.72
USD; not sure why guncash got it wrong.
I was expecting gnucash to ask me for the conversion rate and end up with
USD 0.09.

I just now added a sub-account under ! called cop and it is priced in COP.
If I use that account for the 2nd half of the 342.72, it correctly shows as
342.72 COP and 0.09 USD.
