Yes. GNOME uses the locale or at least it used to. I had this problem
quite a while ago and I fixed mine like this. That problem now no longer
exists for me. I do not know of any control other than selecting the
proper locale or editing the file as it says in the link. I also do not
recall having to change as much

This line in my en_US (Fedora 8) is not like his example either. Mine reads:

7;19671130;7

And my calendar starts with Sunday.

I have several Fedora 7 systems, all have the "week" value in /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_US of
        week    7;19971130;7
and one has the left-most calendar column as Saturday and another has the left-most column as Sunday.  I'd think that if this controlled the applet display then everyone who installed Fedora 7 and selected the "EN_US" locale would display the same calendar format.
