I have several Fedora 7 systems, all have the "week" value
in /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_US of
        week    7;19971130;7
and one has the left-most calendar column as Saturday and another has
the left-most column as Sunday.  I'd think that if this controlled the
applet display then everyone who installed Fedora 7 and selected the
"EN_US" locale would display the same calendar format.
