The bug where the Gnome calendar applet shows the week starting on Sat is driving me crazy. It has already caused me to misinterpret what dates correspond to days of week.
I have discovered that the calendar problem is not isolated to the calendar applet. If you go to the Time and Date Gnome Administration tool you will see a calendar which starts on Sat. This must mean that the problem lies in a library or package which both gnome-panel and gnome-system-tools depend on. I haven't been able to get any further than that. Can someone fix this problem? Thanks, Victor
