When starting gnome-system-log from terminal i get the following message:

(gnome-system-log:1062): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: g_menu_item_set_detailed_action: Detailed action name 'win.filter_DPKG remove' has invalid format
Trace/Breakpoint ausgelöst (Speicherabzug geschrieben)

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

same for me after making a filter.

Found the bug: gnome-system-log crashes when you make a filter and put a space in the name and click 'Apply'.
Would be nice if it would give a warning instead.

The filter settings are saved as a gsettings scheme: org.gnome.gnome-system-log.filters. You can edit them with dconf-editor (org>gnome>gnome-system-log>filters). Replace the space in the name of the filter with a dash (or some other character), and gnome-system-log will work again.

Be aware that there is another bug with gnome-system-log in ubuntu 13.10. It won't launch when you use a Gtk+ Shimmer theme.

I created a filter using a Regex expression. Following this, gnome-system-log crashes each time I try to start it, with the following error message:

(gnome-system-log:6811): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: g_menu_item_set_detailed_action: Detailed action name 'win.filter_Vesper Marine' has invalid format

My filter was simply this:

(?i)vesper

I don't do much Regex and I was trying to do a case-insensitive search. Anyway, hopefully this will help developers to reproduce the but.

I don't have filter and already reset all setting to default, via dconf-editor, but System Log still crashes.
