[GNC] Delete acct + move txns - can't specify acct

[Mark at Lorimark]

I'm curious what your account tree looks like.

I just tried to delete an account, and it only shows a couple of my 
other asset accounts.  I created a 'test' account, and even that didn't 
show up... interesting.

Never used that before, not sure what's expected of it.
