This is a very late response because I don't usually have the time 
to read gkrellm-related email.

If you have shell-scripting skills and know of a source of 
exchange rates, you could use gkrellm-fchart to do that.  In its 
simplest form, you need a script that repeatedly reads the 
exchange rate and writes it to a file; a single number on a single 
line is sufficient.  The fchart plugin will read that file once 
per second and chart it.
