Calculator does not show thousands separator despite being chosen in preferences

Created attachment 169597 [details] Screenshot of gcalctool not honoring the preferences. Downstream bug may be found at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcalctool/+bug/631665 1) lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu maverick (development branch) Release: 10.10 2) apt-cache policy gcalctool gcalctool: Installed: 5.31.91-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 5.31.91-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 5.31.91-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3) What I expected to happen is that when I click the "Show thousands separator" check box in Preferences, the thousands separator is shown. 4) What happened instead is that despite the check box being checked, the thousands seperator is not shown (please see attached screenshot.png).
Fixed in the development version as of http://git.gnome.org/browse/gcalctool/commit/?id=492223c3f9e503686d62e74c48b994e7588f2cee The fix is a bit invasive, so I'm not keen on pushing it to the stable version. And this is clearly broken in 5.32, so something should be done. I'm not sure whether I should write a smaller patch for 5.32.1, or if we should just disable the functionality for this stable series.

Fixed for 5.32.1: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gcalctool/commit/?h=gnome-2-32&id=d9c7ee8689bc27ac40d4de2ec61fa2e0ba69726c I think some of this code needs to merged into the new serializer code, but I haven't got that to compile in GTK2 yet.
