You can change the scheduled transactions [SXes] to "remind in advance"
however many days are appropriate.  In the Since Last Run dialog, they will
show up as "reminders".  You can choose to "promote" them to "create now",
for their originally scheduled date.  If that date is not appropriate, you
can click the "Review created transactions" option, and change the date after
it's created.

I understand the approach that you're describing.  It would be a nice
enhancement, and should be pretty easy to add to the current code ... either
in the SX list ("create now") or in the Since-Last-Run dialog ("let's pretend
it's next week").  Please file an RFE at
<http://bugzilla.gnome.org/browse.cgi?product=GnuCash>.  The paragraphs from
your message are a sufficient report; you might also want to put the link
<http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2007-July/021205.html> in
the bug for reference.
