IMHO these kind of options don't even make sense. If the user needs to change the kernel, it could do it with the grub editors that sometime ships in distros or just use the keyboard error. This has been a feature that has confused me since KDE 3.2
KDE4 has the same feature, including a recently implemented GRUB2 backend (http://ksmanis.wordpress.com/2012/01/29/grub2burg-integration-in-kde/) so it seems to be useful to some people. (btw the GRUB2 patch seems to apply cleanly (but still manually as the KCM-related file changed place between KDE3 and KDE4) to Trinity 3.5.13, but I didn't test it as I don't have GRUB2; the patch is available at
https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kde-workspace/repository/revisions/073... )
It seems useful to some people who multiboot but even those should be savvy enough to know how to select on grub. <snip>
Then their are those of us too lazy to do so, or that are easily distracted (like myself ;-) ) and who miss the chance to select the OS. (of course, I could increase the timeout in GRUB, but I'm both too lazy and too obsessed with a faster boot ;-) )
