[...] day of the week appears as Sunday rather than Monday – yikes, Christianity! The solution is to change the first day of the week in Gnome, and JPilot then picks it [...]

Volodymyr – I notice that “week description” is only used in a one locale (uk_UA Ukrainian) on Ubuntu. I’ll have a play with adding it to the Australian locale, and update this page.

You need to change week description instead:

% Week description, consists of three fields:
% 1. Number of days in a week.
% 2. Gregorian date that is a first weekday (19971130 for Sunday, 19971201 for Monday).
% 3. The weekday number to be contained in the first week of the year.
%
% ISO 8601 conforming applications should use the values 7, 19971201 (a
% Monday), and 4 (Thursday), respectively.
week 7;19971201;4
