I genuinely never realised this. I always assumed that, if you selected
the option "Auto-split ledger" in the register settings, you'd get the
behaviour that Ulrike expected. 

While it's not always possible to determine the "other account name" in
splits, it's doable when there's a single line either debit or credit in
the split. Pseudo-code:

If (line_count(opposite_side_of_split)==1) then 
        show_opposite_name
elseif (line_count(this_side_of_split)==1) then
        show_all_opposite_names
else
        show "--split--"

Is this feasible for GnuCash or am I missing something?
