Comment (by Quozl):

 * in testing here, a zero size .i18n doesn't occur,

 * ''olpc-configure'' is responsible for initial write of ~/.i18n,
 * ''olpc-configure'' uses manufacturing tags as input,
 * ''olpc-configure'' will not rewrite the file if it is present,

 * forcing the file to zero size does cause control panel symptom as you
 describe, which is a bug in Sugar;

 }}}
 * regenerating .i18n from tags can be done with:
 {{{
  rm -f ~olpc/.i18n ~olpc/.olpc-configured
  sudo olpc-configure
 }}}
 * is there a possibility you may have forced a power down during first
 boot?
