I discovered the bug in my gnome-clock applet: weeks started on Sunday, not on Monday. I did a search in google, and found an article ( http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_localedef ) that describes the same problem for British and Ubuntu. In my case, the problem is for Spanish and Fedora, but the fix is the same. By following the steps of that article, I copied the "es_ES" file to a new "es_ES.utf8@iso" file, and added these new lines (just before the "END LC_TIME" tag): week 7;19971130;5 first_weekday 2 first_workday 2 Then, I compiled the new locale ("localedef -c -i ..."), copied the resulting directory to /usr/lib/locale/, and modified /etc/sysconfig/i18n to: LANG="es_ES.utf8@iso" SUPPORTED="es_ES.UTF-8:es_ES:es" then restarted and... now the gnome-clock applet shows Monday as the first weekday!! :-) But, as the article says, it's a temporal fix to solve the problem. The real fix is to patch the official glibc "es_ES" file. This is the diff on my original es_ES (glibc-2.4-11): diff -u es_ES es_ES.utf8\@iso --- es_ES 2006-10-08 17:39:22.000000000 +0200 +++ es_ES.utf8@iso 2006-10-08 17:39:47.000000000 +0200 @@ -2183,6 +2183,9 @@ date_fmt "/ / " +week 7;19971130;5 +first_weekday 2 +first_workday 2 END LC_TIME LC_PAPER I've seen that last cvs version ( http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/libc/localedata/locales/es_ES?rev=1.16&cvsroot=glibc ) doesn't contain the patch. So please, add the patch to the file.
