When using the numpad oocalc prints a dot regardless of what is the decimal 
separator used in the locale, this makes the numpad pretty much useless when 
the locale uses a comma as a decimal separator. I i use the numpad to enter 
decimal oocalc prints a dot so after pressing enter a parse error ocurs since 
the parser canot understand the period. 
 
Compare with correct implementation in excel: the numpad decimal separator key 
always prints a comma if that is the locale decimal separator. 
or incomplete implementation in kspread: numpad prints a period in formula bar 
but gets correctly changed to a comma after pressing enter in entering a stand 
alone number, but incorrectly keeps the period if entering a formula.
