Good thoughts; it is certainly somewhat redundant to have the word
"Entertainment" everywhere.

I believe you want to take a look at the file src/gnome/window-adjust.c.
Look for the call to xaccAccountGetName(account). That's what grabs
the account name.
I would tend to think what you want to do is to repetitively call
xaccAccountGetName(account), collecting those strings together, as
you walk up the hierarchy by calling xaccAccountGetParent(account) to
find the parents.
See xaccAccountGetParent() in src/engine/Account.c
I'll leave the details of actually doing this as an exercise to the
reader...
