How about a compromise? No drop-down menu, but how about letting users select which languages they would like to see? I would be more than happy to ignore the entire world, except for Japanese and the Queen's Eng.... err, English.
That wouldn't help the common case: people using the default options, who have never logged in, or who are not aware that languages they are (or will become) interested in are available.
Some of the other links should be moved elsewhere. Upload image could be on the 'Special:Specialpages' page. Same with Bug reports, and current events.
Upload needs to be better accessible from edit mode, but is less important when viewing. 'Bug reports' must be prominently available from any page, or we'll never get any. ;) 'Current events' IMHO is useless, but maybe other people find it interesting. No reason to put it in special pages, as it's not a special page...

Hate to keep sending out so many emails, but trying to get this to work for as many people as possible. Does anybody know how to make regular hyperlinks (rather than buttons) do submits (without Javascript)?
I'm not aware of such a mechanism, and would consider it a gross violation of user interface standards if there is one. Next step is "how do I make my application installer enhance Explorer/Finder/Nautilus so clicking on a regular file deletes it without warning?" ;)
