    HOWTO: Set Gnome Calendar First Day of Week

    Here is how to change the gnome calendar first day of the week to Monday.

    Check which locale you are using (mine is en_US, don't worry about the .UTF ending):
    Code:
    locale
    Next, backup and edit the applicable locale file (use the result of the previous command if not en_US).
    Code:
    sudo cp /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_US /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_US.bak
gksudo gedit /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_US
    Locate the following line and change the value. The value for Monday in en_US was 2. Select the appropriate number if you desire another day to be the start day.
    Code:
    first_weekday 2
    Save the file and then:

    Update the locales:
    Code:
    sudo locale-gen
    Refresh the desktop:
    Code:
    killall gnome-panel
    The first day should now be Monday
