You have been assigned a bug task for a public bug by RME(OpenERP) 
(rme-openerp):

When entering a number in the spinbutton entry (the one assigned for
floats), the KP_Decimal button is always a dot.

In applications like OpenOffice or GNUCash, when users use the keypad in
a locale where the decimal separator is a comma, the KP_Decimal button
produces a comma.  However, in normal GTK applications this is not the
case.

This is related to a decision of the people of GTK/X, to follow whatever is 
printed on the keyboard instead of what the user actually expects to happen:
http://bugs.xfree86.org/show_bug.cgi?id=534

I consider that entering numbers in a quick fashion and respecting the
user's spectation takes priority over respecting whatever the
manufacturer of the keyboard decided to print on it.  In some cases,
like in the case of Spanish keyboards, different manufacturers print
different stuff on the KP_Decimal key.

I have made a patch for the 5.0.14 version of openerp-cient, that
modifies the spinbutton class in order to get the expected behaviour.

As soon as possible I'll be attaching a similar patch for the 6.X
versions (I trust that it'll be similar enough, since the change is
quite small).
