The idea was to display the language selector.

No. There was a change in the lightdm config file that made the sed
statement not match. I fixed it and made it more rebust against future
changes.

I also changed the timeout to 20 seconds.

No, I haven't had time and repeatedly cried out loud for LXDE
co-maintainers.

Please make sure to file bugs (or clone the one that exists) against all
relevant packages.

Check what? Not sure if I understand this. What does Debian have to do
with Fedora? Does it ship system-config-* apps or other programs that
use pkexec?

Kind regards,
