Still seeing this bug, so many releases later, on Oneiric 11.10.

Simple workaround in comment #9 "fixes" the situation. Couldn't this be
a papercut for the upcoming 12.04 LTS?

Title:
  Gnome System Log Complains About btmp log permissions

Status in gnome-utils - GNOME Desktop Utilities:
  New
Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts:
  Confirmed
Status in “gnome-utils” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-utils

  On Karmic Koala, each time I open the gnome system log viewer, the app
  shows the following error message:

  /var/log/btmp

  You don't have enough permissions to read the file.

  The user can workaround the problem by closing the error dialogue so
  its an annoyance rather than a blocker.
