The exchange rates you see in the exchange rate dialog do not have a 
direct effect on any transaction.  Each transaction that affects 
multiple currencies records the exchange rate used (actually it records 
the amount in each currency).  The exchange rates you see in the 
exchange rate dialog are not completely irrelevant, however.  They are 
used when producing reports, for example.
