I just move from SuSE the recently too. To get that feature back all you have 
to do is edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and change the line:

default 0

to

default saved

KDE then automatically picks up the different boot options and shows them as a 
drop-down on the Reboot button.

It also causes GRUB to 'remember' which OS you last booted into on every 
reboot, which is great for those Windows updates requiring several 
reboots.... You just have to remember to select Kubuntu again when you need 
to go back into Linux as Windows obviously does not have a similar reboot 
feature. I don't remember having to do that with SuSE 10 so maybe they 
customised something.
