Hi Michael,

I've been a happy kmymoney user for about 12 months.  I'm currently 
running it on Debian Squeeze.

Up until recently I kept track of my loans as liability accounts.  Today 
I moved all that I could to loan accounts.

The problem is that one mortgage account gets used like a regular bank 
account, with my salary getting paid directly into it.  So the account 
from which these loan payments (interest charges) are taken is actually 
the same loan account  (the debt just increases by the interest 
charged).  However the loan account wizard does not allow this as an option.

So, the request is, for the loan account wizard to allow you to select 
the account you are actually editing or creating as the account from 
which interest payments are deducted.  Perhaps as a check-box to select 
something like "Payments are added to the debt of the loan account 
(rather than paid from another account)" next to the field where you can 
select the account.

Sorry, that sounds quite poorly explained.  I hope you can see what I am 
getting at.

Many thanks for a fantastic tool.

Regards,
Aaron Whiting
