I see the price entry dropdown when editing an investment account.   
However, I do not see it as part of the new account dialog.  Did I miss  
it, or can that only be set when editing the account?

In the future (maybe as part of the Investments overall redesign) we  
can either add a place to specify the overall preference for Price  
Entry, or reword the one in the Account Edit (and maybe add to the New  
Account) dialog.
