If I understand it correctly, you live in UK, where a week starts on Monday, but still wants that the calendar on your desktop displays weeks starting on Sunday. Out of curiosity, why?
One thing you can do, if that is what you want, is to add the line export LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" as is mentioned at ghelp:language-selector#format-advanced Doing so limits the adaption to US conventions to date and time related format. The level of detail with respect to the UIs for user settings is a trade off between varying personal preferences. Please keep in mind that a high level of detail, to satisfy wishes of a small number of users, may have drawbacks. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/878767 Title: No GUI option to change week-starting day Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: There is no easily accessible way for a user to change the which day of the week the calendar starts on.
