[GNC] New accounts don't show up in GC 5.8 under Flathub

[rsbrux]

As it turns out, devaps at asia.com was on the right track.

Although I had enabled "Show zero total accounts" under "View - Filter 
By... - Other", I had not enabled "Show unused accounts".

Enabling it results in the new (not yet used) accounts showing up.

Thanks again to all who responded!
