Bug Description

Isadora. Using StartUpManager to change splash resolution overwrites any startup parameters on GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in /etc/default/grub and inserts deprecated values. Had nomodeset on this line but after using SUM this had been replaced with deprecated VGA= parameter resulting in failure to boot as nomodeset required on this machine. SUM also inserted quiet on this line even thought this was already present on GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT.
This also fails to change the plymouth splash resolution resulting in missing mint logo, just the progress bar.
