Are you looking for an application that can record the events sent to
the GNOME programs and latter replay them based on the new locale
setting?

If so, by searching at freshmeat.net,  
	1) xscript (http://freshmeat.net/projects/xscript/)
	2) xbindkeys (http://freshmeat.net/projects/xbindkeys/)
	3) xevact (http://freshmeat.net/projects/xevact/)
	4) XMacro (http://freshmeat.net/projects/xmacro/)

The most suitable seems to be XMacro. From the description:
"The XMacro package contains two simple, C++ programs (xmacrorec and
xmacroplay) for recording and replaying keyboard and mouse events on an
X server. This functionality is achieved through the XTest extension.
(BTW it would be better to use the XTrap extension but it's not
widespread in precompiled X servers...) The programs are heavily based
on the xremote utility of Jan Ekholm (chakie at infa.abo.fi)."
