Bug#333146: gconf2: User locale in log entries

Package: gconf2
Version: 2.8.1-6
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n

gconf2 writes log entries in the system log.  This is done in the local
of the user (i.e. locale in effect when gconf was invoked).

This is wrong because on multi-user machine different users might have
different locales, and the administrator might not understand the log
entries if she does not know the users's language.

The systemwide logs should be done in system local or C locale.
