Bug#313539: libgtk2.0-0: GtkCalendar doesn't respond properly to locale change for week starting day.

[Eric Lavarde]

Package: libgtk2.0-0
Version: 2.6.4-3
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n


Hi,

this bug is loosely related to #272054 because I'm still trying to get
my calendar to start on mondays.
First, I have per default the locale LANG=en_IE.UTF-8 and the week
starts on Sunday, though I'd say it should start on Monday (but I'm not
sure).
So I tried things like:
$ LANG=fr_FR jpilot
and
$ LANG=fr_FR xfcalendar
(I tried different values fr_FR.UTF-8, fr_FR.ISO8859-1 and similar ones
with de_DE). Both programs use the GtkCalendar widget from gtk2 and I'm sure
France and Germany have a week starting on Monday.
Nevertheless, the days and month names are translated but the week still
starts on Sunday.

My system is a pretty freshly installed Sarge system (from RC3 but
up-to-date), so I don't see where I could have mixed up the
configuration (which doesn't mean I didn't ;-) ).

Thanks for your help,
Eric
