Peter, did you see 
1. 
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Importing_fund_or_stock_prices_from_an_OFX_file 
2. http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Stocks/get_prices ?

@all:
a) I am not really happy with the page names - Some suggetsions?
b) They only linked by http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Using_GnuCash. Other 
places to add links?

Eventally the file needs some updates, but I am not shure.
