There is nothing special about opening balances. They are just regular
transactions that the fresh start wizard makes for you.
You should be able to edit those transactions just like any other.
But I don't understand what the problem is. Even the Retained Earnings
account would have an 'opening balance' entry if you didn't start your
books at zero. Thus the Opening Balance account would very likely
include Retained Earnings. Why do you think it shouldn't?

However, now I end up with another problem to which I have yet to receive a
satisfactory solution. When setting up the opening balances, the retained
earnings is not allowing editing, so it ends up that the Opening Balance
account now holds the total of the actual opening balances plus an amount
that should be retained earnings. In 3.8 I was able to set this up properly
with one opening transaction, but in 4.9 I have not found the way. I posted
about it on the list, but so far no usable suggestions. Only another user
having the same problem.
I used gnucash years ago without a problem for some small project, but at
this point , I feel like I am in a total Catch-22. I don't trust 3.8
anymore and so far 4.9 is letting me down.
