I think the current trouble is that the GDAL account is considered an  
income account for tracking the sponsorships.  At some point it seems  
the funds need to get moved into a different account that fits that  
"trust" model a bit better.

The current approach was set up before I was using "classes" to track  
stuff on another dimension.  For now, though, you can do almost any  
report (even balance sheet) and then customise it to only show the  
CLASS=GDAL.  Or better yet, the quarterly summary is a good example too.

I'll keep digging.
