I installed Xubuntu 9.10 but on the startup menu it appears as Ubuntu,
Linux 2.6.31 ...
This entry now occurs twice in the startup menu because I had already
Ubuntu 9.10 installed on another partition.
I can change the first Ubuntu entry to Xubuntu in /boot/grub/grub.cfg
but that lasts only until the next sudo update-grub command.
So the question is, where does update-grub get wrong information about
Xubuntu?

(X)ubuntu 9.10 uses Grub 2 which is a major rewrite and uses a different
way to store and edit configuration files. The easiest way to deal with
simple configuration tasks is by installing Startup-Manager with
Synaptic or from the command line

sudo apt-get install startupmanager.
