[GNC] How to edit pop-up menu when typing transaction descriptions

[David Carlson]

The problem with the solution that Adrien suggests is that there is a real
possibility that the existing descriptions may be correct for existing
transactions but inappropriate for new transactions.  I think there is no
solution as long as the current method is used to populate the list, so we
must live with it.
