> Bug description:
>   The gnome "Log File Viewer" does not log the Process Name (or
>   Application Name) that generated the log item. For example, if an
>   outbound internet connection is blocked and this event is logged, only
>   the "ID" (i.e., PID) is shown in the report. But the PID is useless
>   because it is ephemeral and does not live past the session. Users are
>   left with no way to learn what Application or Process was responsible
>   for generating the log item.
> 
>   The "Process Name" should be listed in log items instead of the PID.
