you feel like experimenting, re-install kdebase and kcontrol. Then
run kcontrol as your user, and change the first day of the week,
save the change, and then change it back and save it again. Then
remove kdebase and see if your changes stick. I suspect that this
will create a user config file that kalarm will then use.
I just tried this:
1. Run kcontrol and set the first day of the week to Monday.
2. Apply
3. Set the first day of the week to Sunday
4. Apply
5. yum remove htdig xorg-x11-xdm kde-settings-kdm kdebase-libs
fedorainfinity-kdm-theme kdebase
6. Load kalarm, check the calendar. The first day of the week is Monday.
7. yum install kdebase
8. Load kalarm, check the calendar. The first day of the week is Sunday.
It appears that removing kdebase causes kalarm to return to its apparent
default of Monday, regardless of the custom setting that was previously created
using kcontrol. If kdebase is installed, then the first day of the week
defaults to Sunday.
I can understand why Mikkel's explanation might hold, I was coming to
the same conclusion when I read it.
Now, I'm beginning to think there's also a bit in kdebase that reads
users' preferences, and that if it's not there kalarm silently ignores it.
This, I would contend, is broken behaviour and worth a bug report. I
don't suppose it will be the most important bug report around, but if
it's in the system there's a chance someone will look at it.
