[GNC] Windows reboots, gnucash restart after auto save

[David Carlson]

I don't know about that but it takes a substantial amount of time to wait
for GnuCash to (possibly) save the data file, save the .gcm file, shut down
and then re-open the data file with all the register windows that were not
closed and all the reports that were not closed, vs (possibly) save the
data file, save the .gcm file and then refresh the program window.  In the
bug report the point is made by a developer that the program flow is
different when the data is not in an .xml format, but a user doesn't care
about that detail.
If there was another symbol similar to the asterisk next to the data file
name that indicates unsaved file data to indicate unsaved .GCM details, the
user would be aware that some display formatting details are not saved.  I
think that would address your original concern.
