It should be GLib::DateWeekday::MONDAY.

In this case, you can't use G_DEF_CONSTANTS directly, because it is not
defined gtype, is it?
So you need to define gtype first, then use G_DEF_CONSTANTS.
Do grep _get_type *.c in glib/src. They help you.

BTW, if you just study how implement Ruby-GNOME2,
Ruby/GLib is not properly. 
I recommand to implement GtkWidget and it's children because
they are easier to implement.
