#614 closed defect (fixed)
fail gracefully if LANG isn't set

Description
Normally, LANG will be set by the login scripts. But if it isn't set, several parts of Sugar currently fail (tracebacks).
Since Sugar provides its own language chooser anyway, it makes sense to handle this more gracefully and set up locale variables (including LANG) accordingly early on startup. Another option would be to fix all occurences of direct uses of LANG inside Glucose to use the Control Panel settings instead.

The attached patch sets the default language (to en_US.utf8) in sugar (shell script) prior to sourcing ~/.i18n.
