What about adding an action/menu item Account/Information (or  
Properties?) which would show various things about the account,  
especially including things you don't immediately see in Account/Edit,  
such as whether is it mapped, whether it has subaccounts, is it  
referred to in any scheduled transactions.  Mainly to include all the  
reasons it can't be closed or delted - maybe even "Cannot be closed  
because ...." and "Cannot be deleted because ...."
