Hi,

    Is it possible to obtain the current locale, save it, then change to the output locale, save the file, then restore the original locale?

I'd prefer to have a file format which doesn't change based on locale.  
We should also check that, for example, the x-y (centroid) output file
is not corrupted since it uses a "," to seperate fields.
      
Locales should control the presentation and acceptance format of values, not
the file formats. That should match both needs.
    

I've now made it:

#if defined (ENABLE_NLS)
    /* Do our own setlocale() stufff since we want to override LC_NUMERIC
    */
    gtk_set_locale();
    setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, "POSIX");  /* use decimal point instead of comma */
#endif

    /* Prevent gtk_init() and gtk_init_check() from automatically
    | calling setlocale (LC_ALL, "") which would undo LC_NUMERIC if ENABLE_NLS
    | We also don't want locale set if no ENABLE_NLS to keep POSIX LC_NUMERIC.
    */
    gtk_disable_setlocale();
    gtk_init(argc, argv);


So if there's no ENABLE_NLS, gtk is stopped from setting the locale; and data
formats and gui presentation is in decimal point "C" locale as was with the
Xt PCB.   And when the configure script is set up to ENABLE_NLS for translations,
this will override to keep LC_NUMERIC as before.  I don't think it will be possible
to have separate data and gui presentation LC_NUMERIC locales without
custom file IO functions.
