OK, this is definitely not what I was thinking, and it DOES appear to  
be used as an account id.  Normally, the first time you try to map a  
KMM account to an online account, you specify the username and  
password, and the server returns a list of available accounts.  (For  
example savings and checking at a bank, or regular investment, IRA,  
Roth IRA, ... at a broker.)  I don't know of any way to actually  
specify the account number when mapping the account.  I suspect this  
will require a whishlist item be filed at bugs.kde.org, but one of the  
developers would have to confirm that I'm actually on the right track  
about what would be required.
