Nice, I had a ton of trouble with the full height and scrollbars so glad that's better.
I think the lang and site selectors should probably go up into the existing top nav on the right-hand side but to the left of the existing buttons. Easiest way to do that might be at the top of navigation.js where we are already moving a bunch of elements around using jQuery rather than trying to repurpose the layers of templates between django/grappelli/mezzanine.
