Bugzilla Bug 139603

When I select a grub menu entry from kdm's reboot button, kdm tries to open a
grub shell and use the command "setdefault", which does not exist. Probably
there is a distro that patches grub to have that option, but in gentoo that is
not the case. I have made a patch so kdm uses "grub-set-default" instead, and
submitted it on bugs.kde.org. Until it eventually makes its way into a KDE
release, it is probably a good thing to add the patch to portage.
You can find it here: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63800#c8

Patch for KDM to use grub-set-default

Whoever takes a look at this, please take also 

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127045

into account. /me is lilo only, so...

I'll try to do something with this.

Note to self: both patches need to be applied to kde-base/kdebase and
kde-base/kdm

It might be smart to add the following einfo:

   First, modify your configuration file. Here is an example:

     default saved        # This is important!!!
     timeout 10

     title the old kernel
     root (hd0,0)
     kernel /old_kernel
     savedefault

     title the new kernel
     root (hd0,0)
     kernel /new_kernel
     savedefault 0         # This is important!!!

I notice that the patches are in fact 3 and not 2. I'll add them to
kde-base/kdm only for now. Once it gets tested enough we can move the patches
to kde-base/kdebase.

My bad, the patches are 2 definitely. 

kde-base/kdm fixed in CVS

Proceeding with kde-base/kdebase

Patch for kde-base/kdebase will be added by carlo together with another patch
set. Marking as fixed.
