I couldn't get it to work but there is a brilliant alternative already mentioned by Juan in Grub Customizer for anyone looking for a GUI to edit boot and grub.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install grub-customizer

Sort of. It will let you edit grub but that's about it.

As of 10.04 Ubuntu doesn't use USplash or Splashy, it can't edit those configurations.

It doesn't work properly here. It ignores my default startup entry and always uses the above one. pretty annoying.

Startup manager doesn't work on my machines with Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit.

Grub Customizer, suggested by bimsebasse, works great even in Ubuntu 12.04.
