[Gpe-list] Follow-up: Week starts on Sunday

[Lars Persson Fink]

Hi,

Something about your post Fyodor got me thinking. Shouldn´t the
information about first day of the week be taken from the current
locale? I looked around in Glib-docs and the information is there (I
think it was in strftime or something similar).  That way it would
not have a special setting for it. Just a suggestion.

I could check in the patches, but I do not feel comfortable doing it,
since I am very new on this project. I would rather Florian or Graham
or someone who has been on the project longer OK:ed it first.

That being said I
 do recognize the need for the patch and if no one else steps up soon
I can commit it, it can always be reverted later.

Best regards,
Lars
