Right!

I upgraded Lubuntu and now language-selector version 0.54 is installed. => chinese and deutch are no longer seen in the language-tabs. It was rather weird to see that dutch was greyed out, although all dialogs were in the duct language. For
this reason it moved the 'dutch'-tab to the top.

After that I wanted to set my preferred language to English. After selecting "Apply system-wide" and logging out and logging back in, all the dialogs were still in dutch, although "english" was on top and "dutch" was greyed out. After reboot, all the
dialogs were in english (as I wanted it to be). The same procedure is required to set the language back to dutch. So one need to reboot in stead of logging_off/in.

>> Hmm.. Are you really sure it's a bug #859961 type of crash? I ask because that bug only appears in v. 0.53.

Yes, I update this Lubuntu-system daily. Initially I was able to move the language-tabs up/down. Then some days ago,
this type of crash happened as soon as the mouse was hovered over the dialog. Today (version 0.54) everthing
seems to work well.
