[GNC] totals for a parent account and all its children

[Paul Chaney--First Certified Arbor Care]

This is also a problem for me.  Placeholder accounts with sub accounts 
do not show the total of the sub accounts in reports like balance sheet 
and income statement.  If you have an p0laceholder asset account called 
bank accounts, and several sub accounts, naturally, the report user will 
want to know the total of all the bank accounts.

I use GnuCash for my church's books, and I always get requests from 
members for this type of total.

There has to be a way to show these totals, and if not, fixing this is 
high on the list of defects to correct.
