Comment (by pbearne):

 Yes feels that it would work

 wp_dropdown_pages() call's get_pages() just passing the args through and
 get_pages() takes in post_type

 And if we update the custom post/page type page to inform how to add this

 I don't see the need to add it to the posts page as this is just a place
 holder so remove that from the code.

 Added (untested) code to make the filter work with any number of filters
 so that this call can be part of custom post/page type page setups.

 {{{
 function filter_my_cpt($args) {
 // pass through current value if any to allow for other filters
   if(count($args[post_type])>0){
      $args[post_type] = array_push($args[post_type],'cpt-slug');
   }else{
      $args[post_type] = 'cpt-slug';
   }

 }
 add_filter('options-front-page' , filter_my_cpt');
 }}}

 so the change to options-reading.php would just a filter around the front
 page $args array

 I that feel we should break this out a bit to make readable but this looks
 like the code we need.

 {{{
 117<ul>
      <li><label for="page_on_front"><?php printf( __( 'Front page: %s' ),
 wp_dropdown_pages(apply_filters('options-front-page', array( 'name' =>
 'page_on_front', 'echo' => 0, 'show_option_none' => __( '&mdash; Select
 &mdash;' ), 'option_none_value' => '0', 'selected' => get_option(
 'page_on_front' ) ) ) ) ); ?></label></li>
      <li><label for="page_for_posts"><?php printf( __( 'Posts page: %s' ),
 wp_dropdown_pages( array( 'name' => 'page_for_posts', 'echo' => 0,
 'show_option_none' => __( '&mdash; Select &mdash;' ), 'option_none_value'
 => '0', 'selected' => get_option( 'page_for_posts' ) ) ) );
 ?></label></li>
 </ul>
 }}}


 Does this all make sense?
