system monitor update interval resets to zero (0)

[S.O.E. Ansems]

This is not a lifethreatening bug, but it looks sloppy...

What i did:
1) Start the gnome-system-monitor
2) Select the menu item 'preferences'
3) Observe the value of 'update interval' on any of the three tabs. It is '0,00' eventhough the interval is set to some other value (e.g. '1,00')
4) Change the value to something that is easy to detect as being different from the current value. (say '3,00') and close the dialogue.
5) Observe that the value has been accepted.
6) Select the menu item 'preferences' again and ...
7) Observe that the value of 'update interval' is again set to '0,00'.

The required info for reporting the bug:
Ubuntu version: 14.04 LTS
gnome-system-monitor version: 3.8.2.1-2ubuntu1

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.
