Subject: [PATCH] utils: Honor "week-start-day" gsetting on startup

This lets users override the "first day of the week" through a
GSetting, instead of being forced to use whatever is defined by
the locale, which often may not be correct for their culture,
language or location.

Currently this would apply only upon (re)starting the app.
