Bug Description
gnome-system-log runs fine from the command line in Quantal, but nothing happens if you click on the gnome-system-log icon in the launcher or in the dash.
The desktop file has 'Exec=pkexec gnome-system-log', and removing pkexec makes it run again from dash/launcher. (However, gparted has a similar line, and in its case pkexec correctly asks for authentication.)
But should gnome-system-log even need sudo privileges? I seem to recall a similar problem with gnome-system-log happening in Precise until pkexec was removed from the command line.
