Hi Andi,
now that's I've been able to check again the run-time effect of that weird
preference, here's my proposal:

Ok. Just treat this as always-on, like your patch does.

I highly doubt whether this extra line has been paid attention to by anyone
anywhere during the last 2-3 years. I for one haven't realized it is there,
until now. I see no additional value by this extra line - people interested
in the euro value can have their assets . I'd vote to throw this extra line
out completely.
If the code should still be left in there, we could remove the preference but
leave the gconf key there (but with a more precise name: "Extra EUR line in
summary bar", disabled by default), so that interested users can still
activate it, but normal users don't have to care.
Thanks for the patch!
Christian
