Improve UI reliability on Mac OS X version
I am using GnuCash 2.4.10 on Mac OS X. There are many minor UI bugs. See the list below. Yes, I will file bug reports for a few, but there are many problems.
I suggest that developers and testers allocate some time for testing the basic UI operation on the Mac OS X version, and fix 20-50 minor problems. And/or, consider if there is a weakness in the development process which lets such bugs get into the build.
OK, you will probably suggest that I do the testing, file the bug reports, then download the source, fix the bugs, and…

and here http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2003-May/009125.htmlit would be really useful to be able to specify an effective date for a transaction for budgeting and also reconciliation

Export Invoices to LaTeX
Add the ability to export the data from an invoice as LaTeX data which can be modified and run through LaTeX. Some users have created scripts to automate this process, but are out of date and cumbersome.

wildcard match to assign accounts on import
The most time consuming activity for me - assigning accounts to imported transactions. Most could be automated with a smart query string match using a wildcard. Most transactions are like this:
Telco Co. Ltd {#2392Random Number58359}
and I just want it assigned it to phone every time. I would look forward to using GnuCash then.

Add a report feature like Crystal Reports that allows fully custom reports to be user generated.
This would greatly increase the universe of prospective users by including all the many Non-Profit groups that do multiple projects supported by multiple donors

Report Option: Repeat Column Headers Across Pages
When you print a report or export it to PDF, and it spans multiple pages, it would be very useful to have the column headers repeated on each page.

Make it easier for users to work with alternative/non-ISO/private currencies.
Corresponding Bugzilla item: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=657215
As I recall reading on the GnuCash mailing list(s), developers will not include support for currencies that do not meet ISO requirements. Therefore, to use the likes of Ithaca hours or bitcoins, users have to rather inappropriately treat them as stocks, virtually exchanging them for an official currency before conducting real transactions. Either that or users must rely on the XXX placeholder currency, which has its own limitations.
I propose that GnuCash include some functionality for users to define custom currencies that behave just like regular official ones. This functionality would allow for users to point…

bitcoin
Corresponding Bugzilla item: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=690479
I suggest you support bitcoin (and namecoin) as a proper currency. I don't care if it has an ISO code or not, nor whether you can get quotes automatically.

Permit the start and end of an accounting period to be specified as a particular day in the month, or as a particular date within the year
Pay day for many people does not fall on the last day of the month; it would therefore be helpful when producing reports for the start and end dates to use the "pay month".
Also here in the UK, the financial year (for income tax purposes) ends on the 5th April, so the ability to specify the accounting period as running from 6th April one year through to 5th April the following year would be a benefit to those of us who have to provide income tax data to HMRC.

Save pending transaction changes when saving the file (without confirmation)
When editing a transaction and pressing Ctrl-S to save (without first pressing Enter to save the actual transaction), for example when changing from N to C, I'd like the file to be saved without getting the "Save changes to <RegisterName>" - this register has pending changes to a transaction" dialog (I'm getting tired of clicking "Save Transaction" all the time).

Tree View
I'm not sure if anyone else has issues with the tab interface. I do.
So my suggestion is having a "tree view" on the left that is clickable, and on the right displays the "content view".

Reporting: multiple periods
Could reporting be enhanced to show multiple periods on one report (e.g. income and expenses shown monthly on one page)?
79 votesGnucash currently provides Experimental Balance and Income Statement (= Profit & Loss) reports that support displaying multiple columns.
They are still experimental because of some glitches with price calculations case of multi-currency or stock market scenarios. If you don’t have those, the experimental reports probably will give you what you need.

Add a "GO TO" shortcut
I find it somewhat slow to navigate from one account to another.
It would be nice to have a shortcut that pops a little window listing accouts and a filterbox.
Typing down a few chars would narrow the selection and then you can use the arrows to select and then push enter...

Virtual retained earnings account
I am using GnuCash to handle accounting of my LLC. The LLC pays dividends to me as shareholder. I have read the mailinglist and it looks like one should either close the books (which is generally not recommended) or just create a Dividends account under Equity, which is negative and gets more negative as more dividends are paid.
The second option works actually very well from my point of view, with the only problem being that Equity becomes negative in the account overview (but is still correct in balance sheet and other reports).
My idea would be to have a…
