Do you mean timezones or locales? I know that different locales use
different first day of week. Some respect ISO8601[1] and use Monday as
the first day of week, some don't and use Sunday instead. Unfortunately,
the current GtkCalendar doesn't take that into account. There's a GTK+
bug open for that; http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87977.

But I'm not sure how different time zones relate to different first day
of week.

Sure. I can start:

Locale  First day of week
-------------------------
sv	Monday[2]

use Monday as the first day of week:
