Bug#317846: gcalctool: Confusion when decimal sign is not '.'

[Vincent Lönngren]

Hi!

I checked it before I sent the bug report buy starting gcaltctool wit=
h
LC_ALL=3DC. With LC_ALL=3DC, it works as expected.

I found a weird thing, though: it doesn't seem to have anything to do
with decimal signs. It behaves the same way as integers. I really hav=
e
no idea why the locale should matter in this case, but it does. With =
the
C locale, it's possible to type "1+2", enter, "+1", successfully, but
with the sv_SE.UTF-8 locale, it is not. Very strange.
