Yes. You disable it.

You can use "gtk_disable_setlocale()" before.

The problem with disabling it is that that also means that now all the
*nice* locale handling that gnome would do gets disabled. So the
spinbuttons etc that you might actually *want* to be locale-dependent
also get the "C" locale.

Sad. It would have been much better if gnome by default took the
locale into account for visual elements (with a way to perhaps disable
that too), but didn't screw up the basic C library.

However, they do export g_ascii_strtod(), which is the "strtod() in
'C' locale", so I guess that's what we should use.
