Title:
  gnome-system-log /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old "The file is not a regular
  file or not a text file"

Status in gnome-utils - GNOME Desktop Utilities:
  New
Status in “gnome-utils” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Open system log viewer.
  Go to file -> open, browse to /var/log and open Xorg.0.log.old.
  System log viewer displays the message:
  Can't open /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old
  "The file is not a regular file or not a text file"

  Expected.
  Don't complain about text files when they actually are text files and can be opened by e.g. gedit.
