So savedefault works now as expected. Yet, the default /boot/grub/menu.lst in Debian has "default 0" (instead of "default saved". So, when you select a boot entry for restart, it has no effect, as always "default 0" is booted (which means, the first kernel entry which is found in /boot/grub/menu.lst). kdm should be more clever in that regard. If it notices, that "default number" is used in /boot/grub/menu.lst, it should either display a warning, that the user has to change that to "default saved" or not offer to boot a different kernel on reboot at all.
