Would you please implement this feature? There are MANY reasons why people needs this.. I'll give you mine if you like: - I live in Argentina, so my setting on 'Regional Formats' is 'Spanish'. - I like English, I code in English, etc.. so my Language locale is en_US. - I'm a 7th Day Adventist, so

I know this is an old bug but there is still no way to change first day of the week in 2014 without undesirable consequences. I find it a bit astounding that such reasoning is used to not accept this as a bug. As already mentioned, every other operating system has this option. And the reason they d

Gunnar, just like Andrei i find your reasoning flawed. As for ability to set arbitrary time formats and week starting days ect - more and more people live and work in a global world where the lines between time zones, customs, working environments become more and more blurred. Think of internation

"Btw, the existing control for setting 12-hour or 24-hour time is superfluous IMO." Yeah, let's start restricting just about everything in the OS just because it's "easy" to not implement the features.

Just a couple of things. 1. This is a really small thing that should be easy to fix. I don't think it really requires that kind of debate if there are users requesting it. 2. If we're ever working with Google Calendar or something which DOES have this preference, it may be useful to have this opt

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 mention
