Hi, I was having the same problem until I went to the Language Icons settings page and disabled the display for the Language Dropdown block. The flags still show up there, previously there were duplicates. Changing this setting seemed to remove the image from the dropdown and my site validates to XHTML 1.0 Strict now!
