the numeric pad should provide the regional separator

[Jérôme]

When I type the "point/delete" key of my numeric pad, then the US "." (point) separator is entered instead of my regional "," (comma).

When entering a lot of numbers in Calc for example, this is annoying.

This may be annoying, but is this a valid bug? I assume that you can tweak the key mapping with tools like xmodmap or setxkbmap.

Why should a key that has a dot *printed* randomly change to another character based on locale? THAT would be annoying. In any case, not an XFCE bug.

This is related to regionalization. In many countries, the decimal separator is "," instead of "." in US, UK, etc.

On Microsoft Windows systems, this is properly handled.

Localization is made of :
- language translation (depends on language)
- regionalization (depends on country : here goes the currency, the measurement system, the decimal separator, ...)
