Clint, 

I don't see any other replies, so...

Our family has four Roth accounts-- one each for an IRA and an employer 
retirement plan. I track all the contributions and earnings for those accounts* 
(we haven't yet taken distributions **). That way, I can see generally what our 
retirement savings look like. 

Tracking actual daily value for these accounts is, frankly, more trouble than 
it's worth. Our retirement plans mask the investment details, and only provide 
generalized data, which makes tracking difficult. So, I mostly check that the 
share balances are correct from year to year. This gives me a broad sense of 
our progress toward the long term goals. 

HTH,
David T. 

* - Contributions are handled as standard transactions between asset accounts, 
while earnings are tracked in separate income accounts for tax tracking 
purposes. 

** - IANAA, but I understand that when distributions are made, extra entries 
must be made in GnuCash to allow you to track the distribution as income for 
IRS tracking.
