Make Monday first day on gnome calendar applet

Thanks to Stefanie for this quick customization of the pop-up calendar in gnome. Switching Monday to be the first day in the week is nice!


locale


Next, edit the applicable locale file (for me, en_US, use the result of the previous command if not en_US):

Edit this file:


/usr/share/i18n/locales/en_US


Locate the following line and change the value to 2 (for Monday):


first_weekday 2

sudo locale-gen

killall gnome-panel
