Bug Description

The Calendar at the Clock is very good, but it takes all information from the System Language Pack
I live in Austria and the start of the week is Monday, but I don't like to use a German Language Pack. There should be an option (and not in some config file, but in some easy accesible system configuration tool) to change some Calendar Settings (like Start Of The Week)

This is not a paper cut because it is not a general usability issue, but rather a bug affecting a relatively small user population.

I think this is a duplicate. Horrendus, would you mind spending some time
searching Launchpad for this issue, and marking your bug a duplicate if you find
it already reported? Thank you!

This indeed affects many users, although I am almost certain it is a duplicate.

Didn't really find a duplicate, everywhere it was based on a issue in a certain language pack and my Idea would be that it would be changeable independent of the Language Pack that is installed.

It affects everyone who does use an English Language Pack but lives in a Country where the start of the Week is on Monday.

Thank you for your bug report. The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)

That's a well known duplicate upstream http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=346238 ; as per vuntz comments there: "it's not possible to specify the first day of the week in a GtkCalendar
anymore because GtkCalendar should automatically detect the correct first day.
If the detected first day is wrong, this is an issue in your locale data and
thus a bug in glibc.

Yeah I've just read the upstream bug and the comments, and it looks like they see no way to fix it before the new LocaleProject.
What a pitty ...

This is not a simple Fix, Hence not a papercut.
