Bug Description

Binary package hint: deskbar-applet

The GNOME deskbar-applet's calculator tool always expects a dot (".") as decimal seperator, but in many countries a comma (",") is used instead (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_separator ).
The system's settings for decimal seperators are stored in the locales category "LC_NUMERIC"; deskbar-applet should adopt that attribute.

Ubuntu Version: 8.10 ("Intrepid Ibex")
deskbar-applet version: 2.24.1
