Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-applets

gnome-applets version 2.26.1-0ubuntu1
on Ubuntu 9.04

Trading on the London Stock Exchange for example, there are stocks listed in different currencies:
e.g. BARC.L is quoted in Great British Pences (GBP / 100)
e.g. ALBK.L is quoted in Euros (EUR)

When I add these 2 stocks to my invest applet, when the "position balance" is calculated, the applet happily adds 1 pence + 1 euro = 2.
