The Reconcile window is for reconciling the user's records at the
end of the month when the bank statement comes. For example, if
you write a check for something, enter the transaction. When you
know that the check has cleared, you can click the field between
the description and payment fields, and it changes from a 'n' to
a 'c', indicating the transaction has cleared. At the end of the
month, open the reconcile window, and xacc will prompt you to enter
the ending balance from the bank statement. Then the reconcile
window will pop-up, and you will see a credit and a debit column
that lists all the non-reconciled transactions. You can then
check off the transactions that appear in the bank statement, and
verify the amount fields are correct. At the bottom of the window
is a difference field, which should be $0.00 when you are done
reconciling. If it isn't then you missed a transaction, or one
of the amounts is wrong. When you press "Ok", then the 'n' or
'c' in the transactions that were checked off will change to a
'y'. When you change anything in a reconciled transaction, a
verify dialog box should pop-up, but this doesn't seem to be
happening anymore. Also, the "cleared" total at the bottom seems
to display $0.00 regardless of what transactions are cleared or
reconciled. The "cleared" total should display the total of only
the transactions that have been cleared ('c') or reconciled ('y').
