[kaffe] Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit() calls setlocale() which breaks non-C locales

[Noa Resare]

It seems like a lot of kaffe code assumes that the locale is not set to
a value that format for example decimal number differently than the
standard C locale.

However, when you instantiate the the gtk awt toolkit for example by
calling java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit() and have the classpath-gtk-
awt configured it calls setlocale(LC_ALL, "") (I think from gtk_init()).
If the invoking user's locale is set to for example sv_SE calling
getDefaultToolkit() with current cvs kaffe breaks for example formatting
of decimal numbers.

The attached patch explicitly resets the locale to "C" after gtk_init()
which fixes a boatload of mauve failures when run in sv_SE locale. 

This patch exhibits no regressions on my system[1], but it is worth
noting that jamvm with classpath-0.11 formats decimal numbers correctly
without this patch for reasons unclear to me.

If no one has a smarter solution on the top of their head I would like
to suggest applying this patch.
