Regression: 01_logview_pkexec.patch breaks Application menu in gnome-shell

[Dylan McCall]

Via the patch called 01_logview_pkexec.patch, System Log's launcher has been edited to run the application through pkexec. As a result, the application does not communicate through the logged in user's session bus. This means it is unable to provide application menu entries to gnome-shell, resulting in a completely empty application menu.

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