There does not appear to be an option in grub2
to boot eg from entry 2 rather then the first entry.
(I know of course one can go down the entries with the mouse;
I'm talking about an option to make entry 2 the default.)
Incidentally, I don't seem to have a manual entry for grub2
(or grub) in Fedora-16.

these readings don't answer the general question:
what is the correct procedure to modify the configuration file???
I will proceed to read grub documentation elsewhere

It depends on which tools you will use.
/etc/grub.d/40_custom
: the config file where to add your own menu entries
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
: the command to run to recreate the /boot/grub2/grub.cfg file
: including automatically finding other OSs with the help of
: the os-prober tool (if installed)
/etc/default/grub
: configuration settings
: such as GRUB_DEFAULT, see info grub2 section 5.1

See this:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Grub2
there is excelent explanation to your (and my too) question
--- quote ---
Setting default entry
Due to grub2-mkconfig (and os-prober) we cannot predict the order of the entries in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg, so we set the default by name/title instead. To do this, we set two things: First, we set
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
in /etc/default/grub. Second, we call
grub2-set-default <title or number>
with the title of the newly installed Fedora's entry. From that point on you can change the default by calling
grub2-set-default <title or number>
or view it by running
grub2-editenv list
--- quote ---
It works I can approve it ;-)
