Description Sebastien Bacher 2009-05-13 23:01:42 UTC 
The bug has been opened on https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/316123

"The GNOME deskbar-applet's calculator tool always expects a dot (".") as decimal seperator, but in many countries a comma (",") is used instead (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_separator ).
The system's settings for decimal seperators are stored in the locales category "LC_NUMERIC"; deskbar-applet should adopt that attribute."

deskbar-applet development has been stalled [1]. Maintainers don't have future development plan so i am closing the bugs as WONTFIX.
