  As far as I heard it is a problem with conversions like (eg.) strtod()

  expected format for german setting : strtod("0,8")

  expected format for usa setting: strtod("0.8")

  when you call with german setting strtod("0.8") you get 0 or 8 (both possible)

  The problem only occurs when xsane does call gtk_set_locale()

  Bye
