Try calling setlocale() after initializing Gtk::Main.  Just in case the
locale disabling argument isn't honored.

Also, it might be that you have to use non-standard Win32 API to affect
some locale settings.  I don't know though.

I think this is also available directly in the API:

    std::locale::global(std::locale::classic());

It affects ustring::format() and compose().
