[GNC] Default Transaction Date and Duplicate

[Dale Alspach]

By default I mean the date that is automatically entered when I start
entering a transaction or I click duplicate.

Duplicate is creating a new transaction and is only slightly different from
the effect of choosing one of the list of Description completion choices
that pops-up when creating a new transaction.
Because you are using a very old version of gnucash, what you see is likely
to be quite different.
