I managed to fix it.
After doing locale | grep LC_TIME
it showed the answer
LC_TIME=C.UTF-8
previously it had been
LC_TIME=en_GB.UTF-8
In the C locale file, it had US settings, so I copied en_GB over it, and
after doing sudo locale-gen and logging out and logging in again, it was
all back to how it should be.

The upgrade was from within Ubuntu Studio 16.04. The /home partition
is separate to the / partition of the OS.
The other weird thing to happen since upgrading is the loss of all
desktop icons. In the Desktop folder, the icons are there, but on the
actual desktop.

Hi David,

I recently upgraded from Ubuntu Studio 16.04 to 18.04. Some things
got reset and need changing back to how I want.
I want the calendar to start on Sunday, and managed to get that
done by editing en_GB locale file, making first weekday = 1.
But, now in all other programs, the date formats are in US format,
e.g. May 03, 2019; but I want them back to the UK format of 3 May
2019.
Despite the en_GB locale file seeming to have all the right
settings, I am now stuck with dates in US format, which is hard to
read, e.g. 05/03/19 -- is that 5th of March or 3rd of May?
So how can I get it have Sunday as first day of week, and all date
formats in UK format (as it all was back in 16.04)?
I'm not sure how to answer this, but I can tell you that there was
nothing substantially modified between 16.04 and 18.04 in terms of
configuration, so there might be a configuration discrepency in your
~/.config folder.
My recommendation to you is to ask this question on AskUbuntu
(askubuntu.com) to get as many eyeballs as possible on this. There's
a good chance that somebody ran into the same issue and figure it
out. AskUbuntu is for all flavors of Ubuntu, including Ubuntu Studio
and Xubuntu, which are the two that use Xfce by default.
There's also a good chance someone in this mailing list figures it
out too!
I did, however, see that you posted this same question in the
Facebook group, and since that's not a technical support forum but
rather a collaboration and artistic forum, I will be closing it for
comments.
Best regards,
Erich
