KDE has always defaulted to 'first day to the week is Monday' in any

kalarm defaults to Monday.

kdebase defaults to Sunday.

The problem is that those are different.  I would have expected them both to
default to Sunday, or both default to Monday.  The behaviour changes depending
on whether kdebase is installed or not -- kalarm on its own defaults to Monday
but that magically changes to Sunday as soon as kdebase is installed.

I suspect that kalarm in the absence of kcontrol uses a hardcoded default. In my country, Denmark, the week starts on Mondays so that could be the explanation if the programmer comes from such a country. Apparently kcontrol looks at the locale and sets the week starting day accordingly which kalarm in turn respects.

This looks more like a documentation bug and bad coding habit.
