Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-utils

gnome-system-log (2.24.1-0ubuntu3) in Jaunty is launched using gksu, but the changelog entry from last sync (2.24.1-0ubuntu2) suggests otherwise:
  * debian/patches/01_logview_gksu.patch:
    - don't use gksu to run the log viewer

Patch should probably be dropped as in previous gnome-utils versions.
