Yes, when I said flag, I didn't mean it had to be a country flag. A generic
language selector icon of some sort (whether a flag, globe, etc.).

Hence, a generic icon of some sort. Flag shaped? Perhaps. Globe. Whatever, some
graphic that screams, "Hey, this is where the language can be changed."

Some users will not scroll below the current screen visual. :(

Generally, perhaps. Yes.

I always prefer a system preference option over a CSS option. The former
requires less technical expertise. Someone playing around with Koha for
evaluation purposes is not necessarily going to have CSS expertise or such
available to them. Don't force librarians to learn HTML, CSS, Perl, Linux, etc.
in order to use Koha. Let's keep the technical level required for
customizations low if possible.
