We had these in the past and people didn't recognize their own OS or
what they were. Those interviewed thought they were just odd
icons. However, I'm open to trying again. Maybe we have a new userbase.

We had this in the past. The problem we ran into is people getting
really angry, or thoroughly confused, at the flag not matching their
language. You noted this in your footnote too. I don't have a good
option for this. Suggestions, advice, and patches welcome.

Making the language drop down larger can possibly help.
