There is a bug report:

 Bug #29192 in gnome-panel (upstream): "clock-applet, week starts at tuesday 
not monday"
Fix Requested In  	Status  	Severity  	Assigned To
gnome-panel (upstream) 	Unconfirmed 	Normal 	—
Request fix: + Upstream… + In Distribution…

Clock-applet 2.13.5 [dapper] shows a week from tuesday to monday and not from 
monday to sunday as before.

Could it be due to the circuimstance that Evolution 2.5.5 [dapper] don't allow 
to set a beginning of the week anymore?

I have the same problem.

But I think this isn't a problem of the panel. It's either a bug in the clock 
applet itself (gnome-applets) or in evolution-data-server. In evolution 
itself, weeks begin on monday like they should.

I don't have it here, running a current Dapper desktop.

- It's Language specific
  Setting the language in gdm brings:

  POSIX/C Sat - Fri
  English UK Sun - Sat
  German DE Di - Mo (Tue - Mon)
  Dutch NL ma - zo (Mon - Sun)

- Didn't test all flavours of DE, NL, EN nor other language settings so far. - 
Evolution don't set the starting day of the week anymore.
  Gnome evolution-2.6 2.5.5
