Description Charles Day 2008-02-02 03:52:19 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Investment accounts should always be created using a "Bank" account type, with the securities held in subaccounts. However, in some situations the QIF importer incorrectly creates the investment account with a "Stock" account type instead.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Run gnucash --nofile
2. Begin importing the attached QIF file, which contains a single BuyX transaction.
3. Finish the import by clicking Forward through the druid, accepting the defaults at each step.

Actual results:
The investment account ("MyBroker") has a "Stock" account type. So does the subaccount ("Citibank").

Expected results:
The investment account ("MyBroker") has a "Bank" account type, and the subaccount ("Citibank") has a "Stock" account type.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Proposed patch

This patch fixes the bug by not allowing currency-denominated accounts to be created with stock or mutual fund account types.
