An alternative to gnome-tweak-tool withecho its transparent background
and too short drop-box is directly using dconf-editor...

The key is /org/gnome/desktop/input-sources/xkb-options which has to
contains 'kpdl:dot' (kpdl:kposs may also be considered, it adds
KP_SEPARATOR with AltGr)

Title:
  keymap fr/oss: numpad '.' mapped to period instead of KP_Decimal

Status in central project for keyboard configuration:
  Fix Released
Status in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in xkeyboard-config package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-kbd

  In Ubuntu 7.10, xserver-xorg-input-kbd_1.2.0-1+1.2.1ubuntu1 with the
  following Xorg.conf settings:

  Section "InputDevice"
          Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
          Driver          "kbd"
          Option          "CoreKeyboard"
          Option          "XkbRules"      "xorg"
          Option          "XkbModel"      "pc105"
          Option          "XkbLayout"     "fr"
          Option          "XkbVariant"    "oss"
  EndSection

  Got:
  $ xmodmap -pke | grep 'keycode *91'
  keycode  91 = KP_Delete period comma U202F comma U202F

  Expected:
  $ xmodmap -pke | grep 'keycode *91'
  keycode  91 = KP_Delete KP_Decimal comma U202F comma U202F

  This issue is a MAJOR usability issue in OpenOffice.org Calc, as in the current state Calc is unusable to enter decimal numbers quickly.
  This is a major blocker for migration of Windows/Excel users to Ubuntu/OpenOffice.org. See bug #188331.
