KDE has always defaulted to 'first day to the week is Monday' in any

kalarm defaults to Monday.
kdebase defaults to Sunday.
The problem is that those are different. I would have expected them both to
default to Sunday, or both default to Monday. The behaviour changes depending
on whether kdebase is installed or not -- kalarm on its own defaults to Monday
but that magically changes to Sunday as soon as kdebase is installed.
I suspect that kalarm in the absence of kcontrol uses a hardcoded default. In my
country, Denmark, the week starts on Mondays so that could be the explanation if
the programmer comes from such a country. Apparently kcontrol looks at the
locale and sets the week starting day accordingly which kalarm in turn respects.
This looks more like a documentation bug and bad coding habit.
