Description Carlos Garnacho 2002-11-17 21:43:16 UTC 
Nowadays, the calendar weeks always begins on Sunday, but there are many
places where the week begins in Monday, time-admin should know it depending
on the time zone
Comment 1 Carlos Garnacho 2003-02-10 00:02:40 UTC 
Kal, I added this function in main.c:

xst_time_configure_calendar (XstTimeTool *tool)
{
        gint firstday;
        GtkWidget *calendar = xst_dialog_get_widget (XST_TOOL
(tool)->main_dialog, "calendar");
                                                                     
          
        setlocale (LC_ALL, "");
        firstday = (int) *(nl_langinfo (_NL_TIME_FIRST_WEEKDAY));
                                                                     
          
        if (firstday == 1)
                gtk_calendar_display_options (GTK_CALENDAR (calendar),
GTK_CALENDAR_WEEK_START_MONDAY | GTK_CALENDAR_SHOW_HEADING |
GTK_CALENDAR_SHOW_DAY_NAMES);
        else
                gtk_calendar_display_options (GTK_CALENDAR (calendar),
GTK_CALENDAR_SHOW_HEADING | GTK_CALENDAR_SHOW_DAY_NAMES);
}

I think it works, with locales like en_EN and en_AU it shows sunday as
first day and with locales like es_ES, fr_FR and sv_SE it shows monday
(just like it should do)
