Thanks, GIlles!  That is helpful.  So the Qt calendar widget pays attention to 
the LC_TIME variable.  Chatting to gpt produced a simple python test program 
(below) where I can verify that it adheres to the locale by running it as 
follows.

	LC_TIME=en_CA.UTF-8 python3 qt-calendar-example.py 
- shows Sunday as first day of the week

	LC_TIME=fr_FR.UTF-8 python3 qt-calendar-example.py 
- shows lundi as the first day of the week

So far so good.  My locale is en_CA.UTF-8.  Unfortunately, even when forcing 
the issue by explicitly setting the locale when running digikam:

	LC_TIME=en_CA.UTF-8  digikam

the calendar still shows Monday as first day of the week.  Something on my 
system must be overriding my choice.  I'll keep digging.

Python calendar test program:

import sys
from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QApplication, QCalendarWidget

app = QApplication(sys.argv)

calendar = QCalendarWidget()
calendar.setWindowTitle("PyQt6 Calendar Locale Test")
calendar.resize(400, 300)
calendar.show()

sys.exit(app.exec())
