[GNC] Accounting Period Change issue

[Fred Tydeman]

In trying to track down a Total (Period) issue,
I used Edit -> Preferences -> Accounting Period
to change the Start Date and End Date fields
to Absolute dates.
After doing Close of that dialog,
there appeared to be no change
in the values in the Total (period) column.
I expected a change, but maybe it is working as designed.

However, after closing and reopening GnuCash,
there then were changes in the values.
