Create a new transaction leaving the payee blank.  The other details  
don't matter.  That shows it's allowed to have a missing payee.  Now  
edit the transaction, put in any payee, and save the change.  Now edit  
the transaction again, click in the payee field and erase the payee  
with delete and/or backspace keys or by clicking the clear field x  
icon.  Click in any other field just to show the payee field stays  
blank.  Click on the "Enter" icon to save the changes.  The payee field  
still shows the payee.

Note:  I realized my first test of this was not valid since I just ran  
the new kmymoney without doing make install.  However, it is still the  
same running build/kmymoney/kmymoney.shell.  Is it safe to assume that  
is only using the svn version, and not any libraries from my installed  
version?  I'd hate to think I'm testing the new code if I'm not.
