to_s and locales in Gtk

Michael Neumann

Hi,

Using the Gtk test-runner some very strange errors happened during
running the xmlrpc4r tests.

Indeed, xmlrpc4r and Gtk does not work together, as Gtk localizes the
output of the #to_s method, which results in my case that 3.4.to_s gives
"3,4" instead of the "3.4" I expected.

So my question: Should I use #to_str in my xmlrpc4r library to convert
floats into strings (this works!)? Or is this a bug or misfeature of
Gtk?

Regards,

Michael

Situation might change when you set LC_NUMERIC environment variable to
"C". I really really hate "." and "," decimal point confusion.

Thanks! That works for running the Gtk test runner.
