Process Payment Feature Request

Hi - couple issues with the "Process Payment" process.

I like it, it's quick, but I can think of a couple things that would
make it even better.

The process I follow to record my invoice payments:

1. Search for Customer
2. Show Customer's Invoices
3. Click Process Payment
4. Fill out form using Checking Account as Transfer account.

What could make it better:

1. On the Invoice search results include the invoice amount - I know
the deposit amount from my bank statement, it would then be very easy
to match this amount with the unpaid invoices in gnucash (especially
for customers that have many unpaid invoices)

2. The Process Payment window title could be "Process Payment" so
when it's minimized it's easy to find in the taskbar.  Right now it
just says "GnuCash".

3. When the payment is put in the checking account register, the
description just has the customer's name - this isn't very
convenient.  Could the invoice number also be added to the
description?  "ABC Inc. - Payment of Invoice #0001"  I realize I
could do this manually, but for processing lots of invoices would be
a time-saver.

Is the ML a good place for this or is there a Trac or similar system
I could file this request?

Thanks!

Josh
