So, you are talking about setting up Scheduled Transactions to do your 
paycheck?  If so, cool.  Do you want to write up a little HOWTO on the 
subject?  If so, I can add it to the docs.

I'm just curious, is this somehow easier than just simply using the 
automatic completion feature for splits?  I guess one advantage of using 
SX for this is that GnuCash will notify you when it thinks you've 
received a paycheck, right?
