Idle Thoughts

I was reading on another thread regarding engine accel times and noted a discussion regarding engine flight idle/ground idle being different throttle settings on the 738.
Would a RADALT indicating the aircraft on the ground also cause ground idle to be selected instead of flight idle?
I'd think not, because it would foul up potential for a GA, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
