> While shared, a "buddies" flap is shown. When changing the language, it disappears.
> Seems to be caused by 1508flapsOnLanguageChg-sw:
>     * If sugarNavigator is true, put up the sugar flaps.
>     * If sugarNavigator is false, then put up either
>           o developer's flaps, i.e. Tools, Widgets, etc., if eToyFriendly is false
>           o 'classic' etoy flaps (a la Squeakland) if eToyFriendly is true. 
>     * If user has destroyed existing flaps, the flaps menu offers all three alternatives for fresh flap installation. 
> But we need to preserve the "buddies" flap because removing it breaks sharing. IMHO the code should not remove any non-system flaps.
> Unfortunately, flaps use the translated name for identification. So we still need to treat the buddies flap specially, and when switching the language rename it to the new translated name.
> In general it would be much wiser to use a translation-independent tag to identify flaps in code ...
