Re: gtk doesn't like fprintf )o;

Hi, you need something like this in your main():

        gtk_set_locale();
        setlocale( LC_NUMERIC, "C" );
        gtk_init( argc, argv );

This will set your locale to French (so menus etc. will be in French),
but set the numeric locale (which handles number formats) to "C" (ie.
C-language style).

An even better alternative is to use these functions:

http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/glib/glib-String-Utility-Functions.html#g-ascii-strtod
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/glib/glib-String-Utility-Functions.html#g-ascii-dtostr

they convert numbers to strings and back, but always use '.' for decimal point.
