That's a little bit strange. If I change the locale inside rkward/R,<br>
the '0.01'-effect remains the same.<br>
<br>
The 'problem' machine runs on ubuntu dapper with R 2.2.1.<br>
I've tried on another one running hoary with R 2.2.1 - there are no
problems<br>
using either POSIX or UTF locales.<br>
<br>
So this seems to be a 'dapper' problem only (don't know what happens on
breezy).<br>
Maybe something with the new qt/kdelibs .. ?<br>
And still this mysterious ScimInputContextPlugin.<br>

I tried it this way, too, now, but I still can't reproduce (running debian
unstable, BTW).
Maybe as an additional attempt, in order to narrow things down, could you try
setting the locale from inside rkward/R? Run
Sys.setlocale (locale="C")
and
Sys.setlocale (locale="de_DE.UTF-8")
(which I guess is your default) in the "R Console". Can you affect the problem
this way, or only using "dpkg-reconfigure localeconf"?
Which version of R does your distribution use?
And of course: Is anybody else on this list, either experiencing similar
problems, or running ubuntu (breezy) without problems? Any help (or just
further data) would be highly welcome.
