Since there is no such file, create it; run this in a terminal.

    echo 'export LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"' > ~/.xinitrc

To do it for just Gnumeric, you could run Gnumeric like this.

    LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" gnumeric

If you have a graphical shortcut that executes `gnumeric`,
have it execute `LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" gnumeric` instead.

I have never looked into the decimal separator issue; I'm just
guessing that this is how environment variables will work.
