[GNC] How to reorganize the account tree

[Adrien Monteleone]

Note, I seem to vaguely recall a case where GnuCash is smart enough and 
helpful enough to swap the columns for you when changing account types, 
but I don't recall if this is when you simply edit, or if you delete the 
account and choose to move the transactions to an account of a different 
type.

Adrien
