Description Greg 2016-09-20 17:01:50 UTC 
My locale is set to United States, English. The calendar has Sunday as the first day of the week. We should be allowed to set Monday as the first day of the week for planning purposes and calendar use. Saturday and Sunday are the "weekend" so it makes no sense having Sunday as the first day.

GNOME Calendar respects the system & user locale settings. If you need to change the first weekday, you can use the GNOME Control Center's Region and Language panel.

How does the Control Center's Region and Language panel allow me to change the first day of the week?

I have changed the actual file at /usr/share/i18n/locales/ but it often gets reset when there are updates (security updates) so it isn't a real fix.

How does one change the system & user locale settings when the system & user locale settings are wrong (that is, it incorrectly has Sunday as the first day of the week)?
Comment 3 Greg 2017-05-25 22:35:04 UTC 
I also tried the Debian wiki for help (https://wiki.debian.org/Locale#First_day_of_week) but that didn't work, so how does one set GNOME to use en_US.UTF-8 in general but en_DK.UTF-8 for just LC_TIME and LC_MEASUREMENT?

Region & Language panel gives no options for this.
