KDE4 has the same feature, including a recently implemented GRUB2
backend
(http://ksmanis.wordpress.com/2012/01/29/grub2burg-integration-in-kde/)
so it seems to be useful to some people.
(btw the GRUB2 patch seems to apply cleanly (but still manually as
the KCM-related file changed place between KDE3 and KDE4) to Trinity
3.5.13, but I didn't test it as I don't have GRUB2; the patch is
available at
https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kde-workspace/repository/revisions/0733cc114cfb0c1a81bc664b1274f48700ba7066/diff)
