The above is not true on my machine. The date-time applet goes Sun->
Sat, while the evolution calender goes Mon-> Sun.

I log off as me, log on as root (same machine), and I see the calendar starting on Sunday.  If I log off and back on as me, I see it start on Saturday.

So, I renamed my home directory and deleted/added myself as a user (the long way around, but it does what I wanted to test).  I then logged on as me and had the calendar starting on Sunday.  I then copied stuff from my saved home directory to my new home directory (skipping anything that started with ".g"), logged off and back on as me, and the calendar then started on Saturday again.

It's a user-by-user setting somewhere.  Could be Evolution--hadn't tried that.  I don't see anything there about what day a full week starts on, but it's easy to dig into.
