[GNC] How to handle recurring transactions with currency conversion

We receive monthly payments from U.S. Social Security. These werre 
previously paid out in U.S. dollars (USD) but are now paid out in Swiss 
Francs (CHF).

I previously handled these with a scheduled transaction, since the 
amounts remained the same over at least a year, but this doesn't work 
anymore.

Since the income account is in USD, each deposit (to a CHF account) is 
now associated with a currency conversion rate determined ad hoc by the 
U.S. Social Security Administration.

Is there an elegant way to handle this, perhaps with a scheduled 
transaction having a constant USD amount and prompting for a conversion 
foctor, or should I just give up and create a corresponding income 
account in CHF and enter the transactions manually?

Is there an alternative solution that I haven't thought of?

Thanks in advance for any tips!
