Makes sense, but do you have any ideas how such a per-account setting can be implemented in the GUI? Currently, all per-account settings can be set in the "Edit Account" dialog. However, a setting "Make this an inalterable account" shouldn't be allowed to be disabled again in the GUI, as this would make the whole setting moot. Do you think the "Edit Account" dialog should get a button to enable that behaviour? Or do you think this should somehow show up in the "Create New File" wizard? Both would require GUI actions of a kind that are not yet implemented there. Also, from an implementation point of view it's not clear to me which kind of editing should be allowed for transactions that contain one split in an inalterable account and another one in an editable account. Some fields like the transaction date are a per-transaction field (as opposed to per-split) - should those fields be allowed to be edited or not?
