Thanks, that works!  In fact, it also works in reverse, and maybe better 
that way:

Account/Accounts - all expense accounts
Account/Filter Type - "include"
Account/Filter By.. desired checking account.
Then do subtotals only.  Not sure that will work if you do it the other way.

It would be nice if this filtering mechanism could be extended to the 
graphs.
