Description:
 KGRUBEditor is a KDE utility, that edits GRUB's
configuration files through an inituitive user
interface. It combines both ease of use with
flexibility and is the perfect solution for those
who want to configure GRUB, without messing with
its files.

It is a port of QGRUBEditor
([url]http://www.qt-apps.org/content/show.php/QGRUBEditor?content=60391[/url])
to the KDE4 libraries and while this first release
was meant to be just a port, many features were
added along the way. Highlights are the Color
Preview feature, the iconified entry list and the
advanced yet easy to use interface.

The source code is fully documented so you may
freely take a look at it and post comments/fixes.
