The result is: https://pithos.grnet.gr/pithos/rest/ece7626@upatras.gr/files/kcm_grub2-0.2.0.deb
I don't know if it's working, I can't test since I am on Arch. However I must note that the dependencies are definitely wrong (needs KDE>=4.4) and the architecture is not properly set.

And indeed my package was 64bit, that could explain why it didn't work for you.

i have used this cmakelist
http://paste.kde.org/7052/
as you can see here
set(CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_DEPENDS "systemsettings (>= 4:4.4.0)")
i guess should work from
lucid to natty (10.04 10.10 11.04)
systemsettings (4:4.4.2-0ubuntu14) lucid

It seems to work fine except :
- every key value in /etc/defaulkt/grub is saved single quoted, I don't think this is necessary and it prevents grub-mkconfig from evaluating values. eg. on debian, GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR is default to Quote:`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`, and evaluated as Quote:Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 by grub-mkconfig. When quoted, menuentries are Quote:`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian` which is less sexy...
- When applying changes, kcm_grub2 launch grub-mkconfig but UI does not show any activity, it would be usefull to invalidate buttons or at least to show a busy cursor.
Thanks and hope this will help.

Just following the "release early, release often" scheme.

I haven't tried the "apply" button yet, but everything looks fine, all the data is read including in the advanced tab.
You could use a KUrlRequester for the wallpaper image, and maybe a color chooser in X mode for the colors...
Super cool, very nice to be able to configure grub in a GUI :)
