Thanks.  At some point, I'm going to file two new wishlist bugs.   
First, allow the default price source to be configurable (probably a  
check box in the Prices configuration dialog?).  Second, to add a  
configuation item allowing the user to prevent any automatic creation  
of new securities during data import.  I seem to get lots of cases  
where the security name (from Merrill Lynch) is just different enough  
from when the security was originally added, that I import a sale - but  
it uses a new security, so I still have the old one with X shares, and  
now the new one with -x shares.  It's not difficult to fix, but it's  
certainly annoying.  Also, the default for a new security is two digits  
of price precision, and this often leads to incorrect numbers due to  
rounding from four digits down to two on that initial import.

At least I know where I can change this for my own version.
