I use three keyboard layouts (three input sources), and I chose to show the source in the toolbar (I mean the main bar at the top).
Since I moved to Lion, in addition to the icon for the input source (usually the flag of the country speaking that source) it also shows the name (which takes a lot of precious space). I choose the "Hide Input Source Name" from the menu and the name goes away until I reboot.
Any solutions?

Another thing you could try would be to lock
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.menuextra.textinput.plist
in Finder. (OS X performs atomic saves on preference files sochmod 600
wouldn't work.)At least on my account the file contains just a
ModeNameVisible
key:
