This is a common problem with investments; you often have several
different income, expense, and asset accounts, and sometimes equity,
associated with a given security holding.  At the moment, the gnucash
account hierarchy doesn't support grouping different kinds of accounts
together, but Robert Graham Merkel has just this week added support to
the gnucash engine for associating accounts in exactly this way.

This doesn't actually help you, because the feature is only in the 1.5
development series and at the moment there is no user interface for it
at all (i.e. it's not accessible from the GUI) but we are expecting to
release a 2.0 (stable) version in February or so and there will be
full support for grouping related accounts in that version.

Thanks,
