Bug#705316: gnome-system-log: Non-admins can't run the app directly from the menus

[Jeremy Bicha]

Package: gnome-system-log
Version: 3.8.0-1
Severity: important
User: ubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu raring

1. From a "standard" (non-admin) user account, find System Log in the
menus and run it.
2. Hit Cancel since let's assume that the standard user doesn't know
the admin password. The app closes.

This is a regression from previous versions of gnome-system-log and is
caused by Debian's pkexec patch. Ideally, policykit would be
integrated upstream so that the app will still work without admin
credentials except that a user can only view logs accessible with the
user's permissions.

Workaround: Alt+F2 then enter gnome-system-log

Thanks,
Jeremy
