This affects the clock applet in gnome etc since gtk uses the locale data to find the first day of the week.

Well, that's something that should be resolved by native speakers. Please read http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/SC22/WG20/docs/n690.pdf and supply the right value of week for the locale. The starting day of the week is not the only thing that needs to be known, important is e.g. how are weeks in the year counted.
- Number of days in the week is seven - the weekday number to be contained in the first week of the year is 4 (thursday) If I read the above right :-)
What more information do you need to resolve this? I think we're exactly the same as Sweden and Denmark in this regard. Does that help? After looking at those I see that 'cal' shows sunday as the first day of the week for them too. Why I wonder... You can see how it should be here: Norwegian: http://www.timeanddate.com/norsk/kalender.html Denmark: http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/?year=2007&country=2 Sweden: http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/?year=2007&country=21
Forgot to reopen this when I supplied the information above.
Any news on this? It's the same for norwegian nynorsk (nn_NO) too
The same problem is with et_EE (Estonian). But actually I would prefer using the system in English, while having correct European settings (at least the week must start on Monday!!!) I couldn't find any English locale with week start on Monday, however en_IE, en_GB, and en_DK are supposed to have this, but gnome calendar shows weeks from Sunday, which is irritating. The only locale I found that has Monday is ru_RU (I tried only languages I know). So in short: at least these locales must have week start on Monday: et_EE, en_GB, en_IE, en_DK.
In Denmark the week should also start on Monday instead of Sunday.

Is there anything else I can do to get this moving?
da_DK, et_EE, nb_NO, and nn_NO should be fixed in upstream cvs.
In glibc-2.6.90-17 in rawhide.
