I log off as me, log on as root (same machine), and I see the calendar
starting on Sunday.  If I log off and back on as me, I see it start on
Saturday.

So, I renamed my home directory and deleted/added myself as a user (the
long way around, but it does what I wanted to test).  I then logged on
as me and had the calendar starting on Sunday.  I then copied stuff from
my saved home directory to my new home directory (skipping anything that
started with ".g"), logged off and back on as me, and the calendar then
started on Saturday again.

It's a user-by-user setting somewhere.  Could be Evolution--hadn't tried
that.  I don't see anything there about what day a full week starts on,
but it's easy to dig into.
