gnome-system-log copy-paste offset incorrect

[Steven Brown]

When the gnome-system-log viewer has a log with more than one day, the source offset for the copy-paste operation is incorrect. Basically, for every extra day the source index is off by one.

Gnome-system-log viewer can be seen in the background. The selected item is the one I wanted to copy. I pressed Control+C. Then I switched to the Tomboy note and pasted (Control+V). The item above the one I wanted were copied. There are 2 days in this log, so the source is off by one.

Thanks for your bug report. I forwarded it to the upstream bug tracker: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=338176

I've attached a simple patch upstream, waiting on their comments on it

I'm inclined to use it for Dapper, having an upstream comment on it or not - but let's wait.
