Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-utils

My log files are quite long, and every time I switch to-from the system log viewer (after some elapsed time), I am returned to the top of the log file.

Can we get a preference to always tail the end of each log file? I don't like manually dragging down through hours/days of text.
