Dear Thomas, all

The issue that Richard has mentioned above in 2006 persists in kmymoney 4.6.1
(on ubuntu 12.04). And while Thomas is correct that the exchange rate of the
first part of a split transaction is also used for the other parts of the split,
this leads toan inaccurate result (off by a few cents, possibly rounding error).
This could be avoided if the user can enter in the exchange rate dialog (just
prior to completing the transaction) the total converted amount.
