Package: gnome-session
Version: 3.16.0-1
Followup-For: Bug #732832

This problem still exists in the current version of gnome session. No
idea who thought it was a good thing to spam the system logger.

If you do something in rsyslog.conf like the following it helps:
*.*;user,auth,authpriv.none     -/var/log/syslog

The user part is added. At least that calms down the syslog file and
makes logcheck useful again.
