Good thought, Jim, but I'm actually referring to the budget creation itself. When I click Actions -> Budget -> New Budget, the newly created budget has line-items for accounts that have transactions recorded but not for those without transactions. If I make a dummy transaction and create another new budget, the formerly missing account will appear.
And I do have the "Display accounts with zero total balances and budget values" selected in the Report options, but I haven't progressed to the report stage yet.
