I'm not sure how changing the decimal (in the example case) on linux would affect the linux apps themselves - will I have to switch it back and forth if another, linux app demands it to be ',' whilst the windows one wants a dot.

How about setting preferred values in ~/.wine/user.reg, under [Control Panel\International] using your favourite text editor?
LoL in my particular case, I did all 3 things on all the install/reinstall/uninstall cases I had trying to get that app to work /it requires Bulgarian language, it uses MDAC, it has a MSSQL2005 server backend, it needs that dot, some part is Tahoma font, others are, well, just about any font you can imagine, I know the man who wrote it, his moto is: "allways new stuff, always microsoft" /OMG is he really gonna go VISTA in a year or two?! /, IT'S THE APP FROM HELL!!!!... And there's no substitute :( / I copied intl.cpl, went regedit, and, used vi on the reg. All 3 worked, but I was thinking in the lines of, will a regular user be happy with any of the three options should he encounter such a monstrosity, or, a different monstrosity which requires a different cpl.
