Does your numeric-dot key really emit a period, or does it emit a comma?

I think the problem might lie in that your keyboard layout doesn’t agree with 
your locale settings — in which case, see if there’s a variant with num-dot 
emitting a comma, or if there isn’t such, report it to the XKB people.
