The question is how to show these totals/subtotals on report X, not 
about some other report Y where they might be showing by default.

If you need report X, then you have to learn "what are all of the report 
options available for report X". OR you might ask "for report X, if I 
want to see ...... what report options should I select?" << if you tried 
but couldn't find options that worked >>

To (re) answer the original question, for both the Balance Sheet report 
and the Income Statement report there ARE options to show both the child 
accounts and subtotals, with subtotals either before or after.

Remember, with gnucash you first run a report (open it) and it comes up 
as currently set (possibly default) and then you use "report options" to 
change the report to what you want them to be. You can the save.
