The recording of transactions is separate from the showing of transactions.
The transactions could be recorded, but not shown. What I suggest is looking at

While

Think of it this way, you take $20 out of your right pocket, and then put $20

is left after this transaction? ($20)

If I understand correctly, what you expected was a chart of accounts with
one asset account for checking and all other accounts lumped under
expenses. Maybe one account for income.
You should be able to get to that result with an import from Quicken but

An easy way to "move" many entries is to *delete* the offending account and
let GnuCash move it to another account.
Say you have utilities:water as an account but also utilities:Watercompany.
Then you simply delete one and ask GnuCash to move all transactions to the
other. All in one fell swoop.
I do understand double-entry accounting and that it is the GnuCash paradigm.
What I didn't understand is that on the import GnuCash did create the
requisite checking account, plus all the expense accounts. I did not see
the checking account as it was lost in a sea of expense accounts.
