notforwarded 344470
thanks

As a few reports to this bug show, this problem is not
soley related to locale. The upstream Closed, Wontfix bug
is, however: so I've un-forwarded this one.

I'm getting tuesday-first. Does any locale on earth really
use tuesdays as the start of the week? Today happens to be
a tuesday, but I've tried forwarding my date by a day and
hupping gnome-panel, tuesday remains the first.  locale:

LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

ii  gnome-panel             2.20.1-1
ii  libc6                   2.7-1
ii  libc6-dev               2.7-1
ii  libc6-i686              2.7-1
ii  libc6-xen               2.7-1

"cal" apparently uses locale info, and gets it right:
