Description
When you reboot your computer, open a popup (after you click "reboot") to select in advance the next OS (ubuntu, winXP, ...).

This is good only if you didn't set a boot/disk password ;-)

I remember that I used this option with my old mandrake/KDE distribution

This option shouldn't appear if the only grub boot options you've got is older kernel versions (and poweroff if that's implemented).

I think in the window that comes up when you click the icon in the top right should say, shut down, restart etc, and then have reboot into ... separately, because I would get really pissed off if every time I reboot it asked.

Yes, separately is better
