The problem here is that a system restoration was made from a backup, and the two OS versions were different. In the process, the default ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-system-log/%gconf.xml file was overwritten with an older version. Apparently, the 10.10 log files were named a little differently. Not having easy recourse to the default file settings (and also not wanting to necessarily set the file completely to default settings), I did the following:

cp ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-system-log/%gconf.xml ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-system-log/oldgconf.xml
gedit ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-system-log/%gconf.xml &
gksudo gedit /root/.gconf/apps/gnome-system-log/%gconf.xml &

Having both versions of the file open in the editor, I copied root's listing of which files to open and pasted them over the settings in my .xml file. A reboot later, and all is well.

This should be re-evaluated as NOTABUG.
