 Sugar needs to be able to launch applications when ~/.i18n (with the LANG
 variable) is missing or corrupt.

 Reuben updated a XO-1.5 from OLPC 11.3.1 to 13.1.0 os30 where the ~/.i18n
 file had a length of zero.  After upgrading he was not able to launch any
 applications.

 The traceback seen was:
 {{{
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/bin/sugar-activity", line 160, in <module>
     main()
   File "/usr/bin/sugar-activity", line 109, in main
     locale_path = i18n.get_locale_path(bundle.get_bundle_id())
