Hi, savings goals was my own reason for hacking this into gnucash.

You will find that your transactions between your checking account and
your virtual account are listed in both credit and debit lists during
reconcilitation.  Simply click on an entry in either list and it will be
flagged on the other list automatically.

To aid in finding your transfers to sub-accounts you might want to try
prefixing them with 'SUB:', or '**' or whatever, so they stand out from
your standard transactions, then you can flag them quickly.

Hope this helps.
