That is the "how to". But the real question is the "what", whether you 
SHOULD change unrealized gains to realized gains. Until you tell us on 
what basis your books are kept (cash or accrual) and what information it 
it most important that they give you we can't help you there.

Also keep in mind, most users of gnucash do not "close the books". You 
should read that section of the basics to understand what closing the 
books does << gnucash can produce all the usual reports WITHOUT closing 
the books -- in the old pen and ink on paper days the process of closing 
the books gave you some of those reports. >>
