That looks to me like maybe your mozilla header files don't match your
library files...
anyhoo, the code is there, and I think something similar will pop up in
edit soon, too.

That's one of the features on my wishlist; a g-s-l window for each open
log. Then we can get all spatial and save the window size and position,
or something.

I don't know if it would make sense to put g-s-l in g-s-t, since the
current g-s-t utils tend to affect a change on the system. But I'm all
for getting some kinda support for getting the right access levels to
look at a log file, and that would be distro (and possibly per-log?)
dependant.
