I have found another problem with conversion: I do have an account in EURO.
But in the main window, the total is given un FRF (I have set LC_MONETARY to
"fr_FR") but it give the EURO amount. This is annoying sice that make me
loose money :-)
So GnuCash definetly needs a currencies conversion. For EURO, we can hardcode
a fixed table of all "Euro currencies" since they are NOT supposed to
evolve. For the other, we can have a table updated by the user (and
automagically by gnc-prices).
