Choosing that the week starts on another day than $LOCALE first weekday doesn't seem to work (even in 4.5.12).

There is no option in Orage clock panel plugin to set the week start day.
(Also Orage does not contain such options.)

Orage is strictly relying on locale settings. 

Is this an enhancement or do you see that option somewhere? 
Screenshot would make it clearer?

If you mean the Orage setting on the last preferences page, 
it only changes the week starting date for repeating appointments.
And that setting shuold always set to be the same day than the locale.
This setting can not change the week starting date for the basic Orage.

(This option was in the 4.2 very old orage, but that will not work.)

(I also checked the datetime goodies panel plugin and did not find this option.
since the original debian bug seems to be logged againts that?)

Ok, it's clearer.

Well, if it should, why add an option?

So remove it? :)

Yeah but datetime is dead, and Orage replaces it.

So, basically, no way at all to change the first weekday? I'm changing the priority to enhancement, and will report back to the Debian user, to know what he thinks.

Cheers,

Because I did not manage to find out what the week starting date is.
Libical does not follow locale and Orage needs to tell libical what the
week starting date is.
I would love to get rid of this stupid option, but I can not do it unless
I can find out what the week starting date is. Any hints appreciated.

Correct. And coding that enhancement is huge task after Gtk+ removed that 
option from the calender widget.

Why would somebody want Orage to use different week start day compared to
his operating system? (=locale)

When using multiple calendars from different locales, maybe? I don't know, I don't do this :)

Copied the code from Gtk Calendar Widget. Also left an undocumented
option to overrule this ical week startung day.
This is in Orage 4.5.13.3 revision 26662.



But I will not code the week start day setting since Gtk removed it and
that would mean recoding the whole GtkCalendar widget, which is not worth
it in my opinion.
