Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

The clock applet shows Sunday as the first day of the week while it should be showing Monday as LC_TIME is set to it_IT.UTF8.

My locale is set so that the messages are displayed in US English while the rest of the environment adheres to the Italian standards (Celsius degrees, units and cents separated by comma, etc). It seems that the clock applet is ignoring these settings.

Maybe the problem is related to the fact that I once used gnome-language-selector.
