Description Vincent 2004-10-13 12:19:16 UTC 
Day the week starts at in calendar display cannot be changed. Neither
preferences not gconf keys are able to change it. 

It seems based on current locale (english in my case so weeks are displayed
starting on Sunday). I'd like them start on Monday.

Version : GNOME 2.8.0 (GARNOME) on Redhat EL WS 3.

Steps to reproduce :
1. Add clock applet on panel if not present
2. No modification of calendar week display is possible
Comment 1 Vincent Untz 2004-10-15 18:40:50 UTC 
This could be done with GTK_CALENDAR_WEEK_START_MONDAY, but:
"Since GTK+ 2.4, this option is deprecated and ignored by GTK+. The information
on which day the calendar week starts is derived from the locale."

I really think we should just use what the locale says. Why would we want
something else? Do you have any reason for that?

Comment 3 Vincent 2004-10-29 11:57:22 UTC 
Sorry for being late on the reply. My point was having messages in English since
all my machine is English but display date, time and others in French.

Suggested settings (mixing LANG and LC_MESSAGES settings) in bug #87977
perfectly suit me. I'll try them soon and report back if sth is not right. OK
for closure/duplicate marking otherwise ;)

Thank you very much for your consideration and work Vincent !
