I have never seen any option to choose "Reboot from:" ever since I started using Kubuntu from the days of Dapper. But I would welcome this. As it is, Hardy does not have this feature yet, and neither does KDE 4 on Intrepid for that matter.

Hello. Almost one year after my last comment on this bug -- we now see Koala in development and the KDE logout window still does not have the facility to boot from a specific GRUB entry. Therefore changing the status from Fix Released to New.

Please direct your wish towards bugs.kde.org since really KDE should change KDM to support grub2.

I will implement the dropdown box again within a few days.
Until then use the following setting to enable the old logout dialog:
in ~/.kde/
[Logout]
doUbuntuLogout=0
Sorry for any inconvenience.
