I don't consider this a bug anymore!

Big thanks to Timothy Mayoh & Sebastien Bacher. I can't believe my
ignorance.

guys, just go to /var/log and right-click whatever log file you're
interested in and select "Copy to" and then select your Home folder. Or
alternatively you can open the Log File Viewer and press CTRL+O and
select whatever log you want. It will then show in the left-side pane.
Next time you open Log File Viewer, that Log will still be there.

After learning these things, I actually prefer the Log File Viewer be
empty after a new install because the Log Viewer opens quickly and there
aren't a gazillion logs present that I never use. I can input whatever
log interests me whenever I want.

Maybe this "bug" should be changed to a Won't Fix? I think it's more
from ignorance on the user's part. My initially viewing this as a bug
certainly was from ignorance on my part.
