What happens for the "normal" case of Euroland users, who have EUR
accounts and maybe a small number of differently denominated accounts
(USD etc.)? Do they still have one EUR line in the summary bar? Or
suddenly a second one?
The register's summary bar can be enabled just fine; I think this
won't surprise any current user because nobody has old euro-currencies
still around. This can IMHO safely be made always-active.
The account tree summary bar, well, I wonder whether an extra EUR line
is usefuly anymore at all. Maybe that whole preference should instead
be named "Enable extra EUR summary line"?
