I'd guess you can change that with xkeycaps

I disgree with your labeling it a "misfeature", although I can see that
it may be inconvenient, depending on what you do with your numpad. 
IMHO, the numpad should generate the character that is used as a decimal
point in that locale. And, not to forget, it should generate the
character that is printed on the actual key. In my locale, de_DE, a
comma is used as a decimal delimiter, and the point is used to group
numbers. I.e., a million and two cents are 1.000.000,02. It certainly
makes sense then to make the numpad generate the comma. Also, "," is
printed on the key.

I find it irritating that all browsers I tried don't get this right: 
Epiphany and Galeon display a comma in the URL field, but a point in
text entry boxes of web pages. Mozilla displays a point everywhere.
