10.4: Minimize network traffic from Unit Converter widget

Tiger only hintThe Currency conversion mode of the Unit Converter Dashboard widget creates a spike in network traffic about every six seconds, even when the Dashboard is closed (assuming the widget itself is open).

This is most noticeable on a dial-up connection. Set Unit Converter to any other conversion mode, and the traffic disappears.
