@Clay Weber: Can you attach a screenshot of your new OS list? Do you have only one non-Automagic entry or can you not organize between two non-Automagic entries?

@Connor Kirwan: Good catch on the double header. I suspect that is an artifact left from converting the stand alone application to a KCM module. I'll have to talk about the Tools page with Artemis, AFAIK neither of us think the contents are that disruptive, but there may be a better way to organize them.

@Fri13: It actually says "GRUB Operating Systems List". Conceptually, Ubuntu and Mandriva are two different OSes to the target user, even if this isn't technically true and they are instances of the same or similar OS. The goal for the UI was to provide GRUB options to a class of users that are less technical than those who feel comfortable editing the GRUB config by hand. The point is that the idea is there. However, the title is incorrect in that it is actually a list of bootable kernels, because there can be multiple menu entries for a single installed OS. This could be confusing to users who don't know this and I wouldn't want them to think there are multiple installations of Ubuntu. Maybe "GRUB Boot List"

@Connor Kirwan: GHNS backgrounds not working is a known issue, thanks for the analysis
