This is more of a window-manager issue than a gnumeric issue.

One approach would be to export LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
in such a way that it is in the environment of the window
manager (and hence the window manager's children).

One way to do this would be to add the export command to
the .xinitrc file, and then restart the window manager.

Note that LC_NUMERIC is part of the "locale" and will
affect lots of apps, not just gnumeric.
