ooops... sorry... who said that? Not me... :-)
Anyway, even not using the ... hmmm... images... the point was having a 
list exposed at users eyes just like the face browser (imagine the face 
browser without the faces, just with names)... Instead of forcing users 
to select "Language" and then one of the items inside it...

Something like having the "language" menu always poped up... that was 
the point...

Thanks for the info!
