No error at all.

- My system is an 8.04 Hardy Heron installation upgraded to 8.10 Intrepid
  Ibex. In the moment its permanently upgraded to 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope.

May be the wrong variable type Integer I've seen for the filelist variable
results from one of the previous upgrades? Or could it be that gconf-editor
always asumes an empty string variable to be of type integer intead an empty
string variable?

Nevertheless, good to know that there might be a wrong variable type for
filelist of gnome-system-log.
