Ah, OK. I didn't even consider that Arch might have an out-of-date util-linux-ng ;-) I found a conversation from 2001 regarding this behaviour in the original cal, I didn't think it would take 8 years to make it into the version in util-linux-ng. Thanks for pointing that out. Anyway, the Gnome clock applet IS starting the week on the wrong day (I'm not even aware if there is a single locale that starts the week on Tuesday :-) ) /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe
