Oooh damn gtk2... This needs to be backported to sugar-toolkit

commit fe192be798ac1a9bd13983d197cb5775b7da2ad5

    Add a SUGAR_HOME environment variable

    We should really use XDG directories but that will be a bit
    more complicated and require migration scripts. This is a
    short time solution to "expose" the dot sugar directory in
    sugar-build.
