Comment:

 Codex say that for the deprecated dropdown_cats() function, "selected" was
 the ID of the category to be selected, but it should default to the
 current category.  I think we should mimic this behavior in
 wp_dropdown_categories().

 The problem here is that the default is zero, rather than the current
 category.

 Patch sets default to the current category, for is_category() views, 0
 otherwise.

 #3088 opened for conversion from dropdown_cats() to
 wp_dropdown_categories()
