Because I needed the functionality ASAP myself, I've been working on
this issue today and I think I have it fixed now in the 1.3 branch.
Testing would of course be much appreciated.

So far I didn't do anything about these: I have no idea whatsoever
about the direction a fix should go here: is the FX_gain/FX_loss the
new direction and just not replaced everywhere? If so, why is that? To
me it seems nice to be able to select an ID from the defaults table
instead of being required to join the defaults table with the accounts
table on the default.value column!


That's my progress of the moment. There's not much more I can do at this moment.


Bye,
