Bugzilla Bug 153544

When emergeing kdm-3.5.5 there should be kdm-3.5.4-grub-patch.diff patch
applied, it is not and the possibility to set default grub entry for next boot
is lost.
EDIT:The patch need to be fixed for 3.5.5 as the one for 3.5.4 does not apply.

The patch obviously does not apply: the code has changed.

Hmmm, some lines got wrapped. I'll add it as an attachment.

Upstream patch, applies cleanly

This patch is also missing in kdm-3.5.4-r2 ( it was introduced in
kdm-3.5.4-r1).

No. It's not missing. It was moved to the patchset.

Erm...you added a patch for version 3.5.3... the lines do not match. I ended
regenerating the patch myself. Fixed in CVS. Please, test and reopen if
necessary.
