Subject: qtruby overrides "to_s" depending on user's LOCALES

Hi, is it an appropiate list for asking about QtRuby?

Note the following issue:

----------------------
~# export LANG=es_ES.UTF-8

~# irb1.8

irb> require "Qt4" 

irb> num = 1.1
irb> puts num
1.1

irb> app = Qt::Application.new(ARGV)
#<Qt::Application:0x7f48392e6a70 objectName="irb1.8">

irb> puts num
1,1
----------------------

As you can see, after creating a Qt::Application instance, FixNum#to_s has 
been overriden and prints the number in a format depending on user's LOCALES 
(in Spanish 1.1 is displayed as 1,1).


I've critical issues with it because I use some external libraries as 
httpclient which creates wrong HTTP request after creating a instace of 
Qt::Application:

  GET /index.html HTTP/1,1   <--- Note 1,1 !!!


Is there any way to disable this behaviour in QtRuby? any workaround?
Thanks a lot.
