Yes, I agree with that from a pragmatic view. Perhaps you should consider a patch in the code to override all locales? Of course, people who install GNOME from Red Carpet or other sources may then see the behavior come back and wonder why. This might be something, long-term, to consider as a switch in the registry thing (can't remember its name). Or is it too low-level for the XML registry to have an effect? Because if it were implemented as a switch, MDK could turn off localized decmals by default and still have it be consistent across installs (from MDK or from other sources). Plus, users could turn it back on again.
