[GNC] Additional 'Accounts' columns not being saved on closing program

[David H]

Working fine here on an Intel based Macbook Pro running Gnucash 5.4 and
MacOS Ventura 13.6.1 From memory it also works ok on an Intel based iMac
running Big Sur.  Tried with Balance and Hidden columns only.

Cheers David H.
