Personally I'm a freelancer too, and I would find this functionality
very useful.

I am also a freelancer however I charge different rates for different clients, even different rates for different jobs sometimes, so if a charge per hour was going to be attached to something I think it would have to be attached to a category so each category could have its own per hour amount. However personally I wouldn't find this feature that useful - as I still have to take my times over to gnucash and enter them in there against a rate which calculates the amount charged to the client so I can produce an invoice for them.

And I agree with Patryk, its certainly not going to motivate you to work harder, just longer ;)
