decimal separator

[Olivier Pierard <pierard mema ucl ac be>]

Hi all,

On one computer, the same gtk program considers the decimal separator as 
a coma, on the other one as a point.  Obviously, this is linked to 
regional settings (there is a call to gtk_set_locale in gtk_main() if I 
understand well).  What's more surprising is that on both computers, my 
regional settings on KDE are set to a point as decimal separator (but 
during the first instalation, local parameters were belgian ones - and 
coma separator-, which should be the source of the problem).  So the 
call to gtk_set_locale should read the information in another file than 
the settings of KDE, but which one ?

Maybe, the solution (but not the nicest !) should be to call 
gtk_disable_set_locale but how to know which ones will be the 'default' 
parameters.

Thanks for any hint !

Olivier
