thousands separator

[bill lam <cbill lam gmail com>]

In debian lenny, gnumeric git 

run gnumeric using 
 LC_NUMERIC=fr_FR.UTF-8 LC_MONETARY=fr_FR.UTF-8 gnumeric

it correctly use comma as decimal point, but use space as thousands separator.
eg display 12345.67 as 12 345.67

googling said thin space U+2009 is used as thousands separatori.  Can
gnumeric be configured to choose between space and period as thousands
separator?  And what is the normal thousands separator for french
locale?
