Bug Description

I am aware that Ubuntu disables the configuring of the bootloader through the gdm login screen, but the configure option is still present. If this option is crippled, it should be taken out from the menu.

Confirming. Dapper's gdm has the configure option, which asks for a password (proably root's, as it doesn't accept my password).

If this option is left in, it needs teaching about sudo/gksudo in Ubuntu.
