[GNC] Unable to Hide an Account

[Sherlock]

I don't think of this behavior as a bug but it is easy to reproduce.

For example, with Show hidden accounts unchecked, on the Accounts page, 
use Find Account to Jump To a hidden account.  The hidden account will 
remain "visible" on the Accounts page apparently unaffected by 
subsequent toggling of the accounts Hidden attribute or Show hidden 
accounts until Accounts page is regenerated.

Regards,

Sherlock
