It seems this problem (difficulty deleting accounts) comes up on the  
mailing list with some frequency.  I'll try to come up with an entry  
for the FAQ for it.  As I remember, the issues are schedules, budgets,  
and matched (but not yet accepted) transactions.  I'd also appreciate  
any suggestions on where else or how better to describe the matching  
process - something else for the FAQ or just more detail in the manual?
