Wouldn't work anyway.

I looked into this some months ago, so I am trying to remember properly what 
the problem is ;-)
In order to use this feature our grub would need to support a "--default" 
argument, IIRC KDM will invoke something like
  grub --batch --no-floppy savedefault --default=1 --once
which is supposed to set a specific grub entry as default for one boot. I am 
not sure why, but (aside from the fact that our grub doesn't support --default) 
this isn't too easily possible.

Suse has a wrapper script for setting the default boot option. IIRC it
writes a file to /boot stating which entry to use (which is much more
sensible than editing menu.list IMHO).

Anyway, before we fiddle with that setting we should make sure it works :P
Also I am not sure it is desirable to have this by default since it might be 
confusing.
