Read 9.9.2 on http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/functions-datetime.html
and you will see that even if you find such setting, date_trunc() will
always return monday as start of week:
=========[snip]
source is a value expression of type timestamp or interval. (Values of
type date and time are cast automatically, to timestamp or interval
respectively.) field selects to which precision to truncate the input
value. The return value is of type timestamp or interval with all
fields that are less significant than the selected one set to zero (or
one, for day and month).

Atleast that's how I interpret the last parenthesis in the paragraph.
