How do other (spanish localized) applications deal with this?

Wow, that sounds really "broken"! But if this is the "correct" way to deal with 
it, you should probably ask the Trolls to do the same in Qt! Mail them at qt-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

No, please don't! :) When there's a '.' point on the keyboard and the user hits this key I expect my Qt application to really receive the '.' character!

What the application does with it it's up to the application (e.g. silently convert it to a ',' in the context of decimal numbers). I don't want my underlying toolkit to do this for me!

Imagine other cases where you really want to see a '.' when you enter a '.', For example it would be very annoying in the context of sentences, This has just been proven by this broken text, Off course that only holds for users who prefer to enter the '.' on their numpad, ;)
