Comment(by erikos):

 'export SUGAR_PATH=/usr/share/sugar' if you want to use s.c.p in the
 virtual console. With the sugar rework the SUGAR_PATH is no longer
 required - but this will probably go into Update.2.

 You are all good when you use sudo if you need to set settings using root
 privileges and invoke the command in the terminal activity - i would say
 this is the recommended way. If you invoke for example 'sugar-control-
 panel language' as root - the /root/.i18n file will be used since the code
 relies on $HOME :/
