It all started with a Gnome update, Gnome 2.8 presented a Monday-based calendar, while 2.12 brought me to a Sunday-based one which is unusable most Hungarian people (well, at least for me :-) so I wanted to fix it. Then it turned out that new Gnome uses these fields from glibc... After all, I came to exactly the same conclusion as Petter. "first_weekday" is relative to the date (usually 19971130 or 19971201) defined in the "week" field (which is later available as "week-1stday". As a result, currently glibc's C locale defines that a calendar should be displayed as if weeks started on Saturday. In accordance, if I start Gnome with LC_ALL=POSIX, its calendar really displays weeks from Saturday to Friday. -- What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |egmont at uhulinux dot hu http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=181 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
