KF5 Questions About Online Banking

Anyone who runs into this problem can either edit the xml file as you  
did, or unmap and remap the accounts.  If you read the thread you  
quote, you can see the change was an unintentional side effect of  
changes to otherwise improve the code.  I suspect if the problem it  
caused was recognized earlier, it might have been reversed, but at this  
point, I think it would be worse to change it back.  While it would be  
nice for a file to be usable in both 4.8 and 5.0, I think the decision  
is to get everyone moved to 5.0 as soon as possible.  I think we are  
finally getting close to releasing a 5.0 version for Windows, so that  
only leaves those Long Term Support versions of Linux Distributions  
which have not converted to KF5.
