working with the local decimal comma, I saved a session file. Then I

I reloaded the saved session, and then in the settings dialog I saw a
comma for example in the numeric field for "standard plot scaling".
Restarting gretl again and _not_ loading the session worked as expected,
i.e. no decimal comma anymore. Somehow the session settings seem to
override the global user switch.
It's by design that when you open a session file we restore gretl's
state as of the time when the file was saved, including the decimal
comma choice.
However, there was a "gotcha" with the decimal choice: a change took
effect only on restarting gretl. So if you opened a session with
decimal comma you couldn't get rid of it while the session file was
open. That's now fixed in git: we activate the changed preference
right away.
