Description:
I've noticed that the first day of the week in the Italian calendar of my Gnome DM (to be clear, the calendar that appears if I click on the top-right clock) is wrong. In Italy the first day of the week is MONDAY but the calendar reports to be SUNDAY.

To solve this bug I've followed these steps:

1)
I opened a terminal and typed:
cd /usr/share/i18n/locales

2)
I edited the base file of the localization (for Italian it is it_IT):
sudo nano it_IT

3)
I added just under the LC_TIME row this piece of code:
firstday week 2

4)
I saved the changes, then I recreated the i18n files with:
sudo locale-gen

After these steps, I closed my Gnome session and logged in again and the calendar showed the right start for the week.

Could be a bug related to glibc?

Additional info:
Gnome desktop v. 2.26.3
glibc 2.10.1-4
This task depends upon

This is an upstream issue in glibc for locales. There are some discussions about this on glibc mailing list and bugtracker. I guess that is set to Sunday for all locales for compatibility with programs that expect it. If you need to customize just do it.
