Title:
  ABNT numpad inserts a "," (comma) instead of "." (period) character

Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: openoffice.org

  The ABNT (Brazilian) keyboard (X11 layout "br") has both "," (comma)
  and "." (period) keys in the numeric pad. Comma is below "3", while
  period is to the right of "6". These keys produce distinct keycodes,
  as reported by `xev`:

      KeyPress event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x5a00001,
          root 0x15a, subw 0x0, time 18288752, (880,578), root:(2164,601),
          state 0x10, keycode 91 (keysym 0xffac, KP_Separator), same_screen YES,
          XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (2c) ","
          XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (2c) ","
          XFilterEvent returns: False

      KeyPress event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x5a00001,
          root 0x15a, subw 0x0, time 18289384, (880,578), root:(2164,601),
          state 0x10, keycode 129 (keysym 0xffae, KP_Decimal), same_screen YES,
          XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (2e) "."
          XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (2e) "."
          XFilterEvent returns: False

  All programs get this correctly, with the notable exception of
  OpenOffice.org, which produces a "," (comma) when any one of these
  keys are pressed.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Press "." (period) in OOo Writer.

  Expected results:
  A "." (period) is produced.

  Actual results:
  A "," (comma) is produced.
