What locale are you using? The different locales found under
/usr/share/i18n/locales/ have a "first_weekday" For cultures like
en_US were Sunday is considered the first day of the week, the line
should read  "first_weekday 1" Cultures that begin the week on Mondays
should have  "first_weekday 2" GNOME's calendar applet should follow
these settings.

If the locale setting for your culture is wrong, please file a bug
against the "langpack-locales" package.

Thanks!
