Bug 38672 – gnome-base/gnome-panel: clock calendar fails to respect first day of week l10n

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ed Catmur 2004-01-18 18:06:04 UTC]

The calendar accessible by clicking on the clock applet from 
gnome-base/gnome-panel always displays the first day of the week as Sunday, 
regardless of locale. (Most of the world has the first day of the week as 
Monday.)

There's a patch on the above URL that fixes this; however it's not going into 
Gnome 'cos of feature freeze and the fact that the calendar control will be 
fixed in gtk+-2.4 (which stable users won't be seeing till Gnome 2.6); it'd be 
nice to have this in the Gentoo ebuild; regardless, I'm posting this bug anyway 
just to get it in the open.

I'll put up a patch that applies without fuzz (probably with some offset) to 
gnome-panel-2.4.2; I'm not fussed if you choose not to apply and have to maintain
it.

patch looks clean enough to me to put in for the time being.

Thanks for the patch, good work. I've committed it now to gnome-panel-2.4.2.
