Maybe I'm being thick here, but it's still not easy. We need to start with the knowledge that *internally* income amounts are negative -- after all they usually balance with positive asset amounts. Also, liability amounts are also internally negative, but no one seems to have a problem with that.

Hi Frank, Thank you for thinking about my little problem. I don't understand why we would assume this is a bug in GTK. If GnuCash tells GTK to create a calendar with Sundays as the first day of the week, it should obey. The problem is that some code is not looking at the locale setting on
