The default (5 seconds) that it waits when starting after a normal 
shutdown is plenty of time. But after hibernating, it doesn't wait 5 
seconds. I suppose if I change 5 seconds to 15 seconds, it might wait 
longer, but it doesn't seem likely. I tried turning off "hiddenmenu", 
which allowed me to see a brief flash of the Grub menu just now.
