I can confirm this bug in OpenOffice.org Calc and Gnucash.
The following workaround from Olivier Mengué works like a charm :

I don't know if the workaround from Colin Watson works or not... But in
Gnucash, numpad '.' doesn't work at all either with "French alternative"
or "French" layout. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnucash/+bug/157968

It is a really annoying bug. It should work out of the box since this
kind of thing drives users away instantly.

And yes indeed, "French uses a comma as decimal separator, but keyboards
are labeled with a period". Neverless all french users expect that their
numpad '.' gives a comma. And that's what happens in the "Windows"
world. So give it to us, please ;-)
