I confirm that this is an issue. English desktop but Swedish locale settings are indeed common here. I have always been setting LC_TIME for my session for achieving this but that is of course hard for a new user to know.

I always creates a file like this.

$ cat .gnomerc
export LC_TIME="sv_SE.UTF-8"

But keep the rest as en_US.UTF-8 as I can't work with Swedish translated desktop :)

But if it would be possible to select "English (Sweden)" in the Language Support application it would really help many users.

And the weekday does indeed start at Monday in Sweden.
